Next up would be continuing to upgrade the tracks north of Northfield drive. While the WCR prefers a more scenic speed, and the night-time freight likely doesn't care as long as they can do the short round trip in their overnight service window, I would wonder what would happen if the Region (or the WCR or CN) offered to go splits on a faster upgrade schedule than what is currently in place. I would doubt that miles of welded rail would be on the table, but there would definitely be enough work possible to bring it closer to mainline speed.
