Jesus. CP and CN own the railways, you can't just tell them you're running new trains on their railways or building new tracks, they call the shots. And they are highly uncooperative and will not sell their land for cheap, as they have shareholders to answer to and dividends to pay.

Believe me, I want rail in Alberta. But first of all the government needs to do a proper study on this - I can draw maps and pull numbers out of my ass as well, but that does not mean they have any basis in what is feasible.
