What does /rail/ think of the Alaska to Alberta Railway? https://a2arail.com

The idea is to connect the Alaska Railroad to the contiguous United States via Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Railroad#Proposed_connection_to_the_contigu

A pipe dream if you ask me. The idea seems to get floated around every few years. Feels almost like it's a pump-and-dump scheme. The ROI on such a massive investment I would assume take decades. And in todays business environment it seems to me that greedy investors want paybacks measured in months.
