RE: [CBQ] Re: What's the difference between a mixed and a w/f that carries passengers ?

The Q ran freights as extras under TTTO, so they had no right over 2^nd class or 3^rd class trains unless they were accorded right by the dispatcher. Another difference between a wayfreight and a mixed train was that mixed trains were shown on the timetable, while way freights weren’t.

Aha, additional information that helps explain the difference. 1^st class is certainly different then 2^nd class. 1^st class have priority in TT-TO. 1^st class implies a scheduled that was followed, a plus for passenger service. Even though a mixed train, it was a step above the wayfreight.
