From Google maps, it looks like roughly 6 km from the south end rail cut to the old Fairview roundhouse, then there are multiple tracks for the switching yard. Then there's roughly another 12 km from Bedford to Windsor Junction, but I'm not sure how far up the double tracks went from there.
They went to Rocky Lake Drive underpass in Bedford. They started roughly where the tracks into Bedford Industrial Park are still located. The gravel base can be seen through Bedford and is used illegally by the public as a walking shortcut. Both bridges were also double tracked.
