too expensive for a country wide span
The terrain through Northern Ontario just to finally get to a sparse market like the praires just doesnt make sense. Then when you are across the praires you face the rockies. The Chinese just don't make railroads as cheap as they used to.
I dont see somebody taking a high speed train from TO to Van that can take 2 days instead of the usual 5, I guess. Two days on a train, no thanks.
I also don't see how the praires can even come close to using it enough to cover the expense
