Frontier speed up the rails through open access idea
Peter Holle argues Canada and Europe show how separating rail ownership from operation improves efficiency. He cites Britain Railtrack as a model with open access, competitive markets, and falling subsidies, urging Saskatchewan to consider common railway running rights to boost grain transport. CN and CP are urged to face competition as farmers risk higher costs without action.
