Mimico Cut-Off (later, Canpa Subdivision)
"The Cut-Off to Canpa, was built in 1910 as a short cut for freight trains operating between Lambton Yard and Hamilton. Prior to this trains had to back via Parkdale and Bathurst Street to reach the Grand Trunk Railway mainline where the Canadian Pacific Railways had secured special rights as a Joint Section in an agreement dated May 13,1896. It was originally single track, later double-tracked as far as Evans Avenue. Prior to September 1951 double track was extended the remainder of the cutoff.
Passenger trains were not regularly operated over the cut-off except for a few years when a Montreal-Buffalo service operated through Toronto stopping at North Toronto. There were also special Race trains operated from Union Station to Long Branch Race Track near Canpa (Horner Ave and Kipling Ave). This race track operated from September 6,1924 until October 21,1955 after which it was sold for industrial development and was then owned by Goodyear."

This connecting line between the CNR and CPR is a rarely used line. Does anyone have any more history for this line? and/or old Pictures?
There is no need to go on Railway tracks
