Yes - as I mentioned upthread, CN leases the line but is apparently trying to abandon it.

Well, it does connect with Prince George, but that's a bit of a moot point when CN isn't running anything on the south end of the line right now.
Traffic isn't the issue, the cost of acquiring equipment, operating and maintaining the line is, weighed against the expected passenger volumes to support it. I think at best it would still have to be a subsidized service. I suspect that public desire for such a service would not be near the top of the list when compared to what the equivalent money could deliver when spent somewhere else.
