The city declared that they wanted to do it, then VIA's CEO said he thought VIA could operate it and thought their municipal study was out of whack and it was actually a much better proposition than originally thought. Then it went into the black hole when CN got involved. Was it incompatible with freight schedules? Did they want too much money? Or a reasonable amount but the city or VIA wouldn't pay? Or is CN just intransigent for no good reason? Nobody has released enough info publicly to say.
