Who needs a Railway Operating Certificate?
All companies that fall under the authority of the Railway Safety Act are required to obtain a Railway Operating Certificate. This includes:
- federal railway companies, who must also hold a Certificate of Fitness from the Canadian Transportation Agency; and
- local railway companies, which include provincially-regulated shortlines, light rail transit, and tourist trains that operate equipment on federally-regulated tracks.
We might need a Railway Operating Certificate because we operate equipment on federally-regulated tracks (GEXR Waterloo Spur, and adjacent to GEXR Huron Spur). Edmonton, Calgary and the TTC don't need one because all their trackage is not federally regulated.
