Canadian Pacific has hinted that they are looking into acquiring the Gennsee & Wyoming owned Quebec Gatineau Railway, a 301 mile shortline between Ottawa and Quebec City, which CP to G&W in 1997.
CP also said they would look into the possibility of purchasing other G&W shortlines in both the US and Canada. The article mentions the article mentions St. Lawrence & Atlantic, however I don't see any reason why CP would want it. The Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern is a likely possibility due to CP partnering with G&W to try out intermodal services between Vancouver and the Ohio River Valley.
CP seems to be looking for ways to expand their network, without going full out and trying to buy another Class I like they tired with NS back in 2015-2016. Buying out shortlines and regionals is a lot safter bet.
