Just wanted to ask if Canadian Pacific, BNSF and Southern Railway of B.C. still exchange rail cars at Huntington/Sumas. Or is it just Canadian Pacific and Southern Railway of B.C. doing the honours there?

Southern of BC and CP each interchange with BNSF at Huntingdon/Sumas crossing. The first two each have a small interchange yard. IIRC Southern’s is larger. BNSF has no yard of which I am aware. CP’s Huntingdon track connects with the CN and CP mains at Matsqui and Mission respectively. With directional running between Kamloops/Vancouver, westbound CP traffic (except bulk and container traffic for Pt Roberts which contnues on CN to Hopewell and then diverges to former BC Southern, now CP trackage for Pt Roberts) leaves the CN main at Matsqui and rejoins the CP main at Mission. It must make for some interesting traffic there, although I’ve never stopped to watch. Never seem to have the time…and I do work several times a month at Matsqui Village.
