ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

That was the even earlier plan, but I believe CN advised that doing so wasn't feasible for them. The last ION trains return to the OMSF around 2am, and the first ones leave around 4:15am. That's a pretty small window to get up to Elmira, do their coupling and uncoupling, and make it back down.

Of course if they did two trains, and built a passing siding by St Jacobs, it probably could be done. But that's expensive for serving one customer.
