WES is not cost effective. According to
this, it may have something to do with the cost of operating on a freight line. I don't know if getting rid of WES and running MAX trains on this would still incur similar cost just because of ROW. Still, I would love to see MAX trains running on this line to Portland as well (with a couple added stops).
