That took ages to get going before they were running trains over it again.

If they can do it within a week, then I'll be damn impressed. Perhaps the motivation is greater this time since well... there is no profit if you can't run.
CP says that they'll have the route between Kamloops and Vancouver opened tomorrow. You can be pessimistic all you like, but they're not making that kind of a statement if they don't think that they can do it.
