"A train running once a week is better than no train at all." - Me
Comments on two points from the article:
"...A Canadian Pacific tunnel between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, can't handle auto trains.
A tunnel under Bellows Falls, Vt., blocks double-stacked trains traveling between the Northeast and Montreal..."
The CP tunnel does indeed handle multilevel autoracks as well as doublestacks of containers of international dimension. It doesn't handle double stacks of containers of domestic-dimension.
AFAIK, the RRs using the tunnel under Bellows Falls don't run any single stack or piggyback traffic today between Montreal and the Northeast. So spending public $ to enlarge the tunnel for doublestacks is of questionable value. There is loose talk of a handful of daily autorack loads running through Bellows Falls once clearance is improved, though.[/quote]
