Rural Commuter Rail

[Kitchissippi]

The tracks between the POW bridge and the Trillium line have been severed with no plans to reconnect them since they will be at different levels. The Bayview bridge/station is also being built lower than it was, will it even have regulation clearance for heavy rail? The bridge across the Gatineau river is already overworked as a one way Rapibus bridge, it seems silly to add a parallel commuter train to the mix.

The tracks through Fitzroy have been ripped up, there's no way they can reinstall them without a huge cost. I doubt the tracks up to Chelsea have even been fixed since the past washouts, and there has been talk of turning it into a trail.

I think the best these guys can do is operate trains from Ottawa station to Arnprior, Smiths Falls and Alexandria at most.
