If they are stunting growth in Winnipeg what will they do the future development in the RM's of Rosser, Springfield, East and West St. Paul,Macdonald, and Tache just off of the top of my head depending on how the mainlines get moved.
When the rail yards were first put in Winnipeg it was all empty land and the city grew around them. The same is going to happen around the relocated yards in the future.

I would bet they will be clamoring to attract the rail yards. Big time construction dollars, long term good paying jobs. Tax dollar base. Spin off service businesses typically locate near rail yards. Big wins.
The City would be stupid to let them move from that perspective.
