Yes, however, projections are for higher speed rail but not high speed per se. The conclusions for Viarail, the provider, were that a high frequency train service with a maximum of dedicated tracks would serve the corridor better. In other words, the fact that Viarail passenger trains share the tracks with cargo, and that CN owns the rail, they have priority over passenger service in the event of crossover.
