Yeah like that one video shows, the platforms are built to accommodate boarding on those narrow trains while still having the flexibility of letting the wider freight trains pass through. In the 4 years I've lived here I never saw this being done, and as far as I knew this railroad was abandoned. I never saw any signs of usage, like those marks left in the snow, and also the signals are deteriorating.
I'll add this map showing where the O-Train belongs in OC Transpo's rapid transit network. This system uses bus-only roads, and exclusive bus lanes in downtown with stations nearly every 0.5 km. The bus route I was talking about earlier is the 97.
