Physical lines (tracks and infrastructure)
CTrain line nomenclature distinguishes between LRT lines (i.e. the services people travel on) named with colours and physical lines (i.e. the infrastructure and track segments LRT trains travel on) named with the direction relative to downtown. The physical lines are named separately from the services, and originated from the 1970s network plan for the CTrain, which was originally planned to be a subway/metro service. As of 2025, the tracks are being renamed to reflect this distinction.
