Wabash operated between Detroit and Buffalo through trackage rights, not their own track. NS has basically pulled out of Ontario now, and CSX is rather limited as well. CSX still runs into Montreal, Quebec, on their former Conrail/NYC line.

IIRC NS has given up most if not all of its trackage rights in Ontario. 

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

the Pere Marquette had some extensive trackage in SW Ontario...which of course C&O got...by the time CSX came around the trackage was quite limited...i do believe they still have some trackage around Sarnina opposite of Pt Huron MI as well as some trackage in Windsor...

BNSF runs into Vancouver, BC and I believe Winnipeg, MN ; I believe CSX runs into Ontario(?) as well.
