Freight train priority / delays
Something perhaps worth mentioning, though not sure whether it would be in keeping with an encyclopedic entry. Since Via owns very little of its own trackage and pays usage fees to CN and CP, and furthermore since many lines are single-track, the consequence is that passenger trains are frequently sidelined while waiting for freight trains to go by. I don't have a solid source, but there are numerous mentions of it on travel forums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.92.194 (talk) 21:10, 1 January 2013 (UTC) It's not really reported on, because it only happens in the West, where few people take the train anyway, so everyone knows, and nobody cares. 142.165.145.71 (talk) 06:02, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
