Figured I'd ask here if there's any truth to that since I haven't heard anything along those lines.

That's the CP Arborg Subdivision which no longer goes to Arborg... it only goes to the grain terminal south of Stony Mountain these days, so it's basically just an industrial spur now.
I haven't heard anything about the line being decommissioned given that the terminal most likely depends on it, and I certainly wouldn't bet on it disappearing, but I guess the silver lining is that even if it does remain in place there wouldn't be much more than maybe a couple of trains a week (maybe more around harvest season), and certainly not the mile long monsters you get on the mainline.
