Why would it be a disaster?
It would sure beat driving there in January in an ice storm!!
As someone who used to drive a tractor crossing the Edmonton/Calgary rail line, I can tell you farmers would be very put out if they own property on both sides of the track as those crossings would likely be reduced substantially. Farmers would likely be facing massive detours to get to their land.
There's one potential opposition group right there.
But these trains don't seem to be disasters anywhere else. It's an issue of whether we need it or not and if the demand is there to support the cost.
