If rail development was part of the climate calculus, we might actually never invest in slow long distance trains like the Canadian.
Getting emissions down is first and foremost about reducing the emissions involved in local travel. And next regional travel. And finally transcontinental and transoceanic travel. From that perspective, VIA's priorities basically get reduced to QW and CalEd corridors.
