I have a friend who was the CFO of BC Rail before CN took it over. I asked him about the Deese Lake line being extended to Alaska. He did not know anything about this proposal, but said that the BC government stopped the Deese Lake construction. He said that BC Rail, being a Crown corporation, was used to open the wilds of BC to development (Like this idea). With a change in government a couple of years ago and budgetary problems the Deese Lake line was axed. Most of the ROW is graded and ready for rail. Who knows, maybe we will see trains on the line someday. I do not know of the geography north of Deese Lake which could make this route impractical. Perhaps someone has better knowledge of the terrain than me. <br /> <br />Cheers, <br />***
