PS...when is the last time a train went down the CPR line? I grew up in Fort Garry in the 80s/90s and I don't recall ever seeing or waiting for a train before turning on to Pembina.

In the 2020 crossing report for the PTH 100 upgrade it was stated that there are at least 12 trains a week from CN using that line. Add in the on demand switching into the Ft Gary Industrial Park that does not make it to PTH 100 and that subdivision is well used in Winnipeg proper.
And BNSF also has running rights to run their own trains on that line for grain service to the Peterson grain terminal by the Prairie Dog Central station in the north west part of the city.
