I recall reading somewhere on some of the rail forums that Hunter Harrison when he ran both national railways pulled out dual tracks in some areas to save maintenance costs as rail traffic dropped.

A few years later traffic increased and neither CN or CP could handle it in single track territory he created.

Hunter Harrison (rest in piss) and his crony Creel who runs CPKC now are nothing but Wall St corporate raiders squeezing every penny out of the industry before they die or get arrested. The deaths caused by poor railroad maintenance and overworked crews is on them from their Precision Service Railroading (PSR) which has absolutely gutted the industry. Tearing out dual track, tearing out automatic switches in favour of handswitches, reducing maintenance hours on tracks, cars, power to critically low levels etc, all to save a buck. That's their legacy, destroying several Canadian and American railroading companies while building nothing better. I hope their money is worth it.
