On April 4, 2023, the first GO Trains on the Barrie Line travelled over the Davenport Diamond on the new guideway, and above the CP freight rail tracks. The Davenport Diamond in Toronto, ON, was one of the North America’s busiest train intersections. It’s a key economic corridor where passenger rail and freight trains that move goods through the metropolis intersected. The Davenport Diamond refers to the intersection where the Barrie GO passenger corridor meets the CP rail tracks. As Metrolinx connects the GTA region with two-way all-day GO service, it means more trains would be passing through this area and a solution to this congestion problem was needed.
