According to this map of CN and other railways <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.cn.ca/en/repository/popups/maps/cn-network-map">https://www.cn.ca/en/repository/popups/ ... etwork-map</a><!-- m --> there are no routes up the OttawaValley any more, which was the historic route for both CN and CP. Looks like all east-west traffic does indeed go through Toronto. I know that's the case with passenger service. And they've only recently (last few years) been taking up the tracks in the valley.
