About 8 years ago, the Province had and RFP to combine the 2 tracks into one. Because as you guys have noted, there is minimal traffic on both lines. They were looking for routes to get the Winnipeg Beach Sub over to the Arborg Sub. This would make only one crossing of 101. and remove a bunch of track and rial crossing through the area.
The RFP was cancelled and didnt proceed. This could be picked up again if they actually went ahead with a rail relocation study or just wanted to remove that crossing. It would cost as much to move that track as it would for an overpass. So pick your poison.

That should be reconsidered. The CP Arborg and Riverton Subdivision start at almost the same place, and CP Riverton has more usage. I think that either Richardson Pioneer should be either moved to the CP Mainline (Carberry Subdivision) or to the CP Riverton, and remove CP Arborg completely.
