its the fact that they can have a viable train option is all and washington state just approved a million dollar study into looking at a high speed rail link between seattle and vancouver.
The train is a really big deal here cause it really compliments the cruise ship industry here which is pretty much all here to serve american tourists.
There is no city of equivalent size to winnnipeg, calgary or regina within 2 hours on the US side. Outside of BC, Ontario. I don't think Quebec has a large significant city to pair with either.
Most of the northern states are pretty rural and sparsely populated. Compared to Canadian cities within close proximity to the border.
