With a few hours to kill, I finally made my way down to Smiths Falls to see what there was to see, seeing one intermodal heading west, two Vias, and the yard job. Being somewhat rusty I did not catch any of the symbols.
Smiths Falls, Ontario
(map) The junction of the Ottawa Valley Railway, the Ottawa Central Rail Road, the CP Brockville sub, the CP Belleville sub, and the CP Winchester sub is a busy place indeed. There is a large yard in the historical railway city, a museum, and all CP traffic between Montreal and Toronto, and Montreal and out West.

We stopped near highway 138 to catch a CP on the Winchester sub on our way to Montreal, but missed three in the process.
Finch, Ontario
(map) The CP Winchester sub spans from the end of the Veaudreuil sub out of Montreal to Smiths Falls. Finch is roughly 20 miles East of Smiths Falls on the Winchester sub.

A CP westbound crosses a sideroad not far from highway 138 along the Winchester subdivision.
