It seems CN has trackage rights over AA. Minimum once a week on my way to work, I travel over the AA tracks at Alexis, there is a CN train coming off the AA and onto NS.

All crossings have had the track removed and paved over with blacktop, also the sidewalks are replaced and curbs filled on the edg...
