Abstract
An examination of physical and operating problems of the mountain railroads of Canada indicates that rail capacity can be adequate to meet the potential demands for Canadian coal over the next fifteen years. Significant investment will be required for track improvements, siding and signaling on the existing main lines of Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP), to Vancouver and particularly for the CN Line to Prince Rupert (the former Grand Trunk Pacific).
