I'd like to take a photo, but I can't actually figure out which train tracks in Guelph are part of this railway -- could someone please post either local directions, or a link to an online map? --Padraic15:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)reply
The City of Waterloo and Region of Waterloo are separate bodies at different tiers as opposed to single tier cities like Hamilton or Guelph. It would be misleading in my opinion to conflate the two, and umbrella terms such as "local government" should be used instead for clarity, or it should be explained in the article body.

Julius177: The City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Metro Region are separate bodies at different tiers as opposed to single tier cities like Hamilton or Guelph. Yet a railway owned by the Winnipeg Metro Region is being used as an example of a city-owned railway in the lede.

I see what you mean. In that case I think I do see an inconsistency and think the comparison to Winnipeg should be dropped or overhauled. The lede is pretty bare so I would be in favour of a longer explanation or some other restructuring that either adds more examples or removes the comparison altogether. I think a more appropriate comparison would be to the
OBRY or the
BCRY as my understanding is that they are owned by lower-tier municipalities and feel like more accurate and relevant comparisons since they are nearby in Ontario. This information isn't conveyed well in any of these articles, though arguably it is its own subject anyway and perhaps categories or a list article might be useful here to clarify and make relevant examples more available.
