Construction is under way on a new connecting track from CP's MacTier sub to
the Galt sub. This is being built in the northwest quadrant of the junction
and will allow movements from Vaughan and Alliston to and from Obico and
points west without having to back up or run around their train. The north
approach to the old Weston Rd bridge has been removed, and the connections
can be made without having to remove either CN's abandoned Weston station or
the derelict grain elevators adjacent to the Galt sub. The new diamonds to
cross CN's Weston sub are in place, signal installation is in progress, and
the roadbed has been excavated. Once completed, this should allow CP to
remove one set of diamonds from the Galt sub and 2 from the current Weston
sub crossing.
