Operations on this line:

     The GEXR Guelph Subdivision runs between Georgetown, connecting to CN's Halton Subdivision, to London, connecting to CN's Dundas Subdivision.
     The line used to be operated by CN with regular CN freight trains and VIA/AMTRAK service.
     Since 1998, the Goderich-Exeter has operated on this line after previously taking over the CN Goderich and CN Exeter Subdivisions.
     Daily Goderich Exeter freight trains and VIA passenger train utilize the GEXR Guelph Subdivision, with regular stops along the line. Up until March 2004 the Amtrak International ran on the GEXR Guelph Subdivision.
     The Goderich-Exeter operates out of Kitchener on the GEXR Guelph Subdivision. If you stop by the VIA station in Kitchener, you can usually find several units parked here at any given time, and possibly their former CN caboose. Stopping by their operations in Stratford will usually present you with some more locomotives that the GEXR uses.
     In 2019 or early 2020 CN took this line back over from the GEXR.
