Reinhard:
for the Y, all I know is a location in Streetsville, Ont on the Credit Valley Railway (now CPR). Their 2 main lines split there after leaving Toronto. The original line became a branch as the new line ran to Detroit. The junction was a Y (or wye) with a yard along it. I'm not sure how it operated. The branch line used to go much farther than it does now and had a good traffic load. I think trains probably went to Toronto, but the Y may have been used to turn locomotives. One leg of the Y has been removed and the branch operates as a completely separate railway, exchanging cars at the junction.
