Walkley Line was built in 1955 to bypass the downtown route, built by the National Capital Commission to connect the new Canadian National Railway Walkley Yard between the Beachburg Sub and the Alexandria Sub south of downtown. This was done to remove rail operations from downtown Ottawa. The Line is 5.1 miles from Hawthorne to Wass Jct. Walkley Yard is located in the middle of the line.[1]

Canadian National Railway runs one weekly train (CN 589) westbound from Walkley Yard down the Walkley Line onto the Beachburg Sub and west on the Smiths Falls Sub to a lumber customer then reverse back to the Beachburg Sub and west to Nepean Jct to enter the Renfrew Sub to a customer in Arnprior, Ontario. CN also runs East out of the yard on The Walkley Line onto the Alexandria Sub East.
