You have to think about the cost/benefit of dropping Transcona as a stop. The place probably cost $50-100k/year to maintain. Each train stop likely cost $50-100, given the time and fuel used. Such a stop blocks the CN main, which costs CN money. So local passengers were asked to drive an extra 20-30km to board a train for a 2294 km ride to Vancouver. That's a journey that's 0.8% longer distance, or 1% more time, to drive downtown.
Given that perspective, it's probably worth dropping the stop.
