Funny that the new overpass is being promoted as "helping the area [Malton] become less isolated from the rest of Mississauga" considering north of it is all Brampton.
It be stated at council that it is late and over budget. The photo show 3 CN trains and where do you place the other 2 tracks for CPKC without tearing the bridge down and rebuilt it???

Has nothing to do with connecting Malton to the rest of Mississauga.

Just stating what council has said and connecting to Brampton. In fairness, Malton should have been part of Toronto based on comments of Toronto councilors with Etobicoke part of Mississauga.

So they wanted to make Malton an exclave of Metro? Why?

I think they do something similar every fed/prov election.

Not sure why people continue to think the 407 freight bypass would help the Milton line.

The 407 freight bypass is essentially a shifting of CN's Halton subdivision. Why would CN go ahead with this project if it means having to share a stretch of their subdivision with CPKC?

CN won't go ahead with fronting the money to construct the 407 freight bypass unless they can get guarantees they won't have to share the newly re-aligned tracks with CPKC. Which means the 407 freight bypass/ "Missing middle" will only be good for the Kitchener line.

Maybe that's good for Mississauga since it'll lead to better service at Malton GO?
 
There are days when I think the federal government should form a crown corporation to expropriate all of the main rail lines in the GTA and Montreal/Laval areas and impose some sort of rationalization on the transportation system.

Unfortunately, the scope of Ford's GO 2.0 plan is just a bypass to redirect CPKC freight traffic off the Milton and Mid-town lines. Quoting his post on X here:

Having expropriated lands for the Credit East grade separation I guess they're too committed to adding capacity on the Halton Subdivision to switch strategies and bypass CN freight as well.
