#1 The media has not remembered the effects on US railroads. Any freight car going to or coming from a destination n a Canadian RR is dead in the water. Embargoed.

Many of the rail crossings will be unaffected, but some crossings of US/Canadian railroads are controlled by the Canadian road. If a highway crossing gate sticks down on a Canadian RR in the US, you may wait quite a while to get it 'unstuck'. The Illinois Central - Main Line of Mid-America, is now owned by Canadian National.

#3 Canadian railway employee salaries are already the highest in Canada at up to $300,000.00/year. This is normally called a train robbery.

#6 a lot of bath tissue used in the USA is made in Canada

probably it can be delivered by truck

the shippers are well aware of the urgency with which this product is needed

#7 A lot of ship-based imports that used to come in via CA ports shifted to BC due to cost and delays to dock. So US-bound goods is now stuck before it even could hit the rails; expect Vancouver and Port Rupert to be jammed soon if not already.
