The '''CN Bala Subdivision''' is a major railway service line in Ontario running between [[Toronto]] and [[Capreol, Ontario|Capreol]] in [[Northern Ontario]] (from the Ruel Subdivision), thus forming part of [[Canadian National Railway|CN]]'s transcontinental link between [[Southern Ontario]] and [[Western Canada]]. The majority of the line serves transcontinental freight traffic along with [[VIA Rail|VIA]]'s transcontinental line ''[[The Canadian]]''. Also within the [[Greater Toronto Area]], service is also shared by the [[Richmond Hill Line]] of [[GO Transit]] from Downtown Toronto to [[Richmond Hill, Ontario|Richmond Hill]] just before the border of [[Aurora, Ontario|Aurora]]. The section between the [[Union Station]] Rail Corridor in [[Downtown Toronto]] and the Doncaster Junction with the [[CN York Subdivision|York Subdivision]] in [[Thornhill, Ontario|Thornhill]] is owned by GO Transit, whilst the remainder of this line is owned and primarily operated by CN. Therefore freight train traffic serving the GTA does not continue into the downtown core but is instead rerouted at Doncaster Junction west along the York Subdivision to its main terminal, [[MacMillan Yard]]. Also between South of [[Parry Sound, Ontario|Parry Sound]] and south of [[Sudbury, Ontario|Sudbury]] both CN and its rival [[Canadian Pacific Railway|CP]] has implemented the use of [[directional running]] in order to relieve congestion on both its respective parallel lines. Therefore, all Southbound CN & CP traffic utilizes the CN Bala Sub whilst all Northbound traffic utilizes the CP Parry Sound Sub.
