The CP rail yard could be redeveloped into something cool as well.

I've thought about that, although it seems as though increasing freight traffic could make that a problem. CP has talked about putting a second track through London to accommodate increased traffic, and the new Sarnia Road bridge was built to accommodate this.
At best, I think that passenger rail on the CP line would have to share with freight, as is already done on the CP lines in the Toronto area which have GO Transit running on them (such as the Milton-Toronto line).
