A question for Drew and others. How much CPR activity is there on the Ottawa
Valley route, and is it used for any intermodal traffic? I think the subject
may have come up in the past, but is AC power used on the line?

A question for Drew and others. How much CPR activity is there on the Ottawa
Valley route,

I'm not sure sure what your asking but the RaiLink-Ottawa Valley route is all
CPR. Originally we had planned for about 16 trains a week but the last year has
been up to 30! I can get actual figures if you want.

and is it used for any intermodal traffic?

It is pretty well 90% intermodel with a couple of mixed freights in there each
week.

I think the subject
may have come up in the past, but is AC power used on the line?

A couple of AC's (from both manufactures) has in deed slipped through, once even
in the lead! But as a rule, no!

If you would like more info on the CPR Ottawa Valley train statistics, let me
know.
