Legacy
A remnant of the GRR/CPEL line remains an active rail corridor in the 21st century as CPR operates an industrial spur to reach a Toyota automobile factory in north Cambridge.
In 2000, the Grand River Railway's name was echoed in the creation of Grand River Transit to unify bus services in the Region of Waterloo.
Light rail rapid transit in Waterloo Region is set to begin operations from Conestoga Mall in Waterloo to Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener by 2017; a second phase extension of the LRT to Cambridge has also been approved. The LRT's path includes routing along portions of the old Grand River Railway.
