I still don't see how it could be. I can't wait to see this report.
I had a lot typed out as well, then lost it
... spent an hour researching too. I give up.
Here is an official press release btw.

edit: Not happy to see Bombardier already sticking their face into it and influencing decisions.
edit #2: An excellent read as well, which basically hits on the points I was writing earlier.

According to this article, the 2004 report from Van Horne and the recent press release both show the cost to build the line would be roughly the same. I ask how, in this super inflated costs of large projects these days that the cost could have stayed the same from 2004 to today.
