Dual running rights.

Who is up for the proposal from Saskatchewan and Alberta for dual running on the rail running to the ports of Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay? Vancouver may be more difficult, due to the corridor, but PR and TB is more feasible.


Barring that, we need farmers to buy shares in the railroad with all our investment dollars: Gates and Buffet need competition.

Essential service, dual running rights. No way to strike ever. Lay it out for them . Those are the parties options. Doesn't hurt to threaten a nationalization of them either.

They can keep track of planes in the sky , pretty sure they can keep two trains colliding on parallel rails in this day and age.

At this point it really is the Trudeau government's fault for this happening.

As far as Im aware, aren't the tracks to vancouver dual running anyway? If I remember, the *easy* side of the thompson south of Ashcroft, which is the west side are for loaded transit, and the east side which is the challenging run is for empty's?

I believe that is correct
