    I’ve heard, and it’s on rumour, that in areas where via does have priority (like the corridor) CN/CP just run trains longer than the sidings, so they can’t more out of the way.

      Freight companies already do the same thing in the US and are unfortunately completely within their rights to do so

      Thwy run those longer trains on days when ther isn’t a scheduled VIA train too.

      I don’t think it’s specifically done to screw VIA, even if that is one of the results.
