<p>Alphas, thanks for your encouraging response... I think you hit the nail on the head with your closing comment: "I wish you good luck with your efforts to get politicians to think outside of the box."  I am convinced that this is a viable alternative/soluution to our particular and unique situation here in Vicgtoria, but it needs politicians/special interest groups, etc etc to support it or the prevailing (and traditional) mindsets will have their way.  (Boy, this is getting complicated ;o) </p>The points you raise (about regulations and regulatory authorities, and about unions competing for the jobs) are valid, but none that cannot  be overcome by a government (whether municipal, regional, provincial, or even national) that is willing to put common sense and practicality over local turf wars.   As for the controls and upgrading on the current railbed, I think the former would be very easy to incorporate, and the latter is not even needed, since the railbed/railway line already is up to snuff for the (I believe) much heavier rail car(s) that are currently in use.
