The only way you could force that is to sell it. If someone buys it, they either make it profitable by focusing on its strengths and culling its weaknesses, seeking other profit making uses and taking on debt to fund investment. Or it goes bust, on the private sector's dime.
I doubt you'd find many buyers though, at least any willing to run the entire route. The Rocky Mountaineer could maybe expand its operations to cover some of the route, but they'll be smart enough to realise few care about spending days staring at open prairie.
