While one could argue the "Chicago" title, I take exception to the statement that Edmonton couldn't handle more cargo, or even more than Calgary. Calgary has a great distribution network, but with YPR online, and with access to BOTH ports on the CN mainline, Edmonton is poised to do great things - that is if it gets off its ass and does something.
