    Guelph Junction Railway Company Business Plan 2015-2017 June 15, 2015 Guelph Junction Railway Company c/o City Hall, 1 Carden Street, Second Floor Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1H 3A1 Tel: (519) 836-4848 Fax: (519) 837-5636 Executive Summary The Guelph Junction Railway (GJR) will operate with conservative fiscal principles, continue with the recapitalization of infrastructure and pursue long range strategic growth objectives over the duration of this business plan. The GJR will operate in a sage and responsible manner and in accordance with the requirements of the Shareholder Declaration and Federal Transportation Regulations. The GJR will be congruent with and complementary with the strategic objectives of the City of Guelph. The GJR seeks to work collaboratively with our Shareholder and our customers to build a robust system that ensures fiscal and service sustainability, is attractive for business and provides a safe and environmentally compatible impact to the City of Guelph. GJR Operations The Guelph Junction Railway (GJR) operates on 24 miles (39 Km) of track running from Guelph Junction near Campbellville to the City of Guelph’s Northwest Industrial Park. The GJR connects with the Canadian Pacific Railway in the south and with the Canadian National Railway in the north. The GJR is a true dual access railway and many local rail serviced industries take advantage of this to secure competitive pricing for trans-national railway movements. Dual access capability also ensures direct access to all North American Class 1 railways and their respective markets. The GJR differentiates itself on service with a weekday regular service and Saturday/Sunday/holiday switching service or rush delivery service by appointment.
