The provided timetable includes all GO Transit (GO), UP Express (UPX) and VIA Rail (VIA) services that use these tracks, as well as a selection of local and through freight trains from CN and CP.

Operational Tips

The first letter of a train’s headcode represents the service it belongs to, per the below list. The second character of the headcode indicates the train’s origin and/or destination and vary by service. If the second letter is S, X, Y or Z, the train is deadheading (running empty) to or from a yard or storage track, or is sitting idle awaiting the start of service, and the letter indicates which facility it is going to/from. For the GO services, the origin/destination is usually irrelevant as all trains for each line enter and exit at the same point. The only exception is that westbound K6 trains (GO Kitchener line to Bramalea) do not stop at Etobicoke North Station and can bypass it using an adjacent track as needed.
