Strart with a tunnel under Bank connecting to Rideau - Montreal Road corridor then once those are operating you can start your other 3 lines which buys time for those areas to build up more development which would justify putting a rail station there.

Personally from an investor standpoint I wouldn't be lending you money unless you build those lines under Bank Street, Rideau and Montreal road first
Moose does not really want to own or build track. It just wants the right to use others' track and simply pay a "fair rate", much like independent ISPs use Rogers or Bell infrastructure to provide internet to their customers. Ideally, it wants municipalities (or companies) to maintain tracks like they do roads, and just have the right to use them.

Moose also HAS to run an interprovincial line to have the Constitution Act of 1867 on its side and give it the privilege of using those tracks by arguing that it is doing it for the "general Advantage of Canada"
