Definitely getting off on a tangent here, but I just want to assure you that the CNR line between the Hump Yard in Moncton and Saint John is Class 1 trackage and sees daily usage with large container trains and also oil trains heading to the refinery in Saint John. This line does not need to be upgraded (except for perhaps some sidings if passenger traffic were to get reestablished).
The main infrastructure needs would be for passenger stations along the way.
