Amtrak - CN battle: unprecedented.

Passenger railroad calls CN’s delays to its trains deliberate and illegal, seeks federal intervention.


A very interesting piece on “how things work” and how CN brags about using a “precision railroad modeling - it’s all about meticulous scheduling” scheme.
Yep and the results of that I hear every time I talk to a CN engine crew. Or follow the progress of the Rocky Mountaineer when using CN trackage on two of their routes.

Oh yeah and a bunch of “clarifications” on American railroading myths and legends, including the Great Locomotive Chase.
