Amtrak should maintain as much of the route as possible while they wait out those mean Canadians They should not have to pay for or maintain trackage in Canada, however they could buy it since they need it "to turn around their trains". Canada could charge Amtrak property tax! Canada should be motivated to repair the track & get the train back running. There is lots of traffic going between NYC & Montreal, some portion of which would like to take a train. On the other hand, the highway route is pretty straight and "efficient"
