A given land area's capacity for development directly correlates to the capacity of the available transportation infrastructure. Further, a given site's commercial development potential directly correlates to the traffic passing by it. Logically, land value correlates to both.

Put something like a terminus of an intercity rail line adjacent to said land, and you have added both capacity and traffic.

Especially when you control all nodes of that intercity network, and can manipulate the network effect almost at will. (because FEC can give away tix if they see the transaction as a net positive for their bottom line.)
