GeoBase now has railway data for most provinces. BC, Alberta, and
Quebec will be released this fall.

I uploaded a small portion near Regina as a test. (the spurs only)

There are a lot of extra attributes, only some of which will be
useful. I plan to write a python script to translate some of the codes
into an OSM standard, unless  someone has a better idea of how to do
it.
