Crazy that both CP and CN are still touting that repairs are underway and service will be restored by this week. I mean come on.... we all can see the damage... I'll give them one thing though, they are both great at keeping stuff out of the media. Finding out damage on the rail lines is so much harder than the highways.
I wonder what capacity BNSF was running those lines at and how much extra they can take.
