Project details

Kingston Subdivision

Tracks | Ontario and Québec

Kingston Subdivision

VIA is implementing major track and signal improvements at key locations on the Kingston Subdivision, part of the busy Ottawa-Toronto and Montreal – Toronto routes. Many of these improvements affect trip experience and increase capacity for passenger train frequencies on those tracks.

  • 41 miles of new third mainline track built in three sections
  • other yard and siding improvements to increase capacity and reliability for VIA passenger trains
  • signal, structural, grading and drainage work
  • upgrades to many public, farm and private crossings signalized automatic warning systems that enhance safety
  • this project is being executed in conjunction with major station improvements on the Kingston Subdivision that carry with them the same objective – increased capacity
