it was only thru some insane rate distortions plus fruit marketing and a ton of subsidized industrialization that they actually like, could fill trains
Canadian Pacific built the biggest steam engines in the British Empire to lift freight over the Rockies and Selkirks into the prairies and they could never go to Vancouver because CP had never bothered to build suitably accommodating trackage west of Revelstoke
