I'll have to go through the EA documents, but I could have sworn that it was going to be between Rutherford and Maple.Dan, any idea where that next crossover installation might be planned for?

Your memory is correct. I dug into the preliminary design plates included in the EA, and it shows up on the left side of drawing 38 and the far right edge of drawing 39 (warning, bonkers-huge-slow PDF)
To save everyone the grief of loading it, just picture a pair of crossovers spaced roughly equidistant around here, or around mile 17.7 of the Newmarket subdivision. Assuming it doesn't shift in the final design and nobody comes up with a better name, could this mean a "Golden Orchard" controlled location will be coming soon to a operating timetable near you? (thanks, McMansion-builders of Vaughan, for your creativity).
The next pairs of crossovers to the south are Snider South (mile 12.8) and then a new one just north of Castlefield at mile 7.2 before getting to Parkdale. The next pairs of crossovers to the north are just south of the King-Vaughan boundary at mile 22.2 (the existing switches at the top and bottom of the Teston passing track are slated to vanish) and then just south of Aurora GO at mile 29.4. In other words, they seem to have been spaced out pretty evenly, with roughly 5 miles between each set, give or take.
