Draft:CP Belleville subdivision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CP Belleville subdivision is a heavy rail line running between Toronto, and Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada. The rail line, is considered Canadian Pacific’s mainline in Ontario, due to it stretching from almost one end, to the other end of Ontario. from just east of Newcastle, east of Oshawa, the line joins with Canadian National’s Kingston subdivision, just east of Belleville where it splits and heads north towards Smiths Falls. Although mostly alongside CN tracks, sections in Belleville, Colborne, Port Hope, and Trenton all See the Belleville subdivision split from CN trackage for a while. At the west end of the subdivision, in Toronto, the line joins CP’s North Toronto subdivision where they farm into CP’s main rail yard in Toronto. Due to the lack of trains, most of the grade crossing that are not joined with CN tracks only contain a cross buck, and alternating flashing lights, unlike almost all of CN crossings which contain alternating lights along with a crossing arm. For a large portion of the route, there is only one track while in certain sections, there are two to allow other trains to pass.[1][2][3] [4]
