ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
The GO/CN Corridor would be a better fit for better heavy passenger rail connections west of Waterloo. Given that Baden & New Hamburg are the next targets for development, it would be an easy win to connect those villages with Waterloo and Kitchener by rail. A Boardwalk station (and perhaps ones at Fisher-Hallman and/or Westmount) would be an added bonus. Just for fun, the eastern end could stop at Breslau and drop down to the airport. Since the Region owns land at the dump and at the airport, either location could work as a service site for the heavy rail vehicles (or for, that matter, the empty rail yards in Baden or New Hamburg)
