Rail Transit (Passenger and Freight) in Ontario

We've got Go Trains in GTHA, and Ontario Northland, Huron Central, Agawa and Upper Ottawa Valley Rail in Northeastern Ontario, and CN, CP and Via rail throughout the province. (These are the well-known ones, I assume.) Since I don't see it fit to discuss Northland Rail in the Via thread, nor Via rail in the Go train thread (not that there's one), I've decided to start a dedicated thread.

Now, let the discussion begin.

Also a question of mine: Is it possible for the province to purchase the Upper Ottawa Valley Rail ROW from Renfrew County (which is currently a recreational trail) and extend Northland Rail to Ottawa? (I would say that's pretty cool: one line to Toronto and the other to Ottawa. Also we're essentially looking at an NCR version of Go train: northwest to North Bay with the services split at Pembroke or Petawawa, and southwest to Perth...?)

Ps: If the mods find this thread redundant, feel free to merge it.
