they did a big story about the seattle amtrak on the saturday news on global

it seems BC has already spent a few million upgrading and adding tracks so the extra trains can run here but Canada customs wants Amtrak to pay $1500 per day to serve the train and they just won't suck it up and staff the facility properly

and they interviewed Americans arriving and what they plan on spending in the time they are here etc

anyway it seems Amtrak wants to come here more, the rails etc are all in place but its the federal gov't who is holding out
