With CN planning on making an in-house wheel shop at Prince George and the lumber express to Chicago from P/G and stuff it sounds better. I also can hope CN can recover some of the bussiness lost recently by BCR. But my fear that still remains is what if CN reroutes traffic from P/G to Vancouver over thier own line, that would be a major loss to loose the BCR route. Perhaps if BNSF was to merge with BCR I would think the BCR line would remain thier gatewway to northern BC. <br />-I was a bigger supporter of the CN ONR merger, I think ONR blew it, it seemed like a natural fit.- I also support a Railroad to Alaska. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />I agree about the Railroad to Alaska they could use some of the BC RAIL tracks that was proposed in the 1960's or 1970's to build to Alaska. Also If they use the Prince George Wheel Shop and the Lumber Express but wouldn't thwy route it via Jasper and the Via Skeena Route? Hopefully It will get better 440cuin I agree with your fear about them reroutes Traffic which their has been talk about it would be deadly
