There had recently been talk of converting the currently diesel locomotives along the rail corridor to electric. Hopefully when the Corridor is rebuilt this will be part of the rebuilding process.

Wonder if China is putting the screws on the US to fix the Corridor to keep the skids on trade nice and greasy? Hmmm...
