I’ve been doing some more research and it appears that expansion of the port at Prince Rupert will likely result in increased train traffic as more goods are hauled along the CN Rail line. From the wikipedia entry:
On September 12, 2007, phase 1 the Fairview Terminal opened for business and is expecting its first container ship (from COSCO) in October. Phase 1 has an annual container-handling capacity of only 500,000 TEUs.[4] However Phase 2, due to be completed late in 2010, will increase the Port of Prince Rupert’s capacity to 2 million TEUs, and to 4 million TEUs by 2015, and there is extensive capacity for further expansion
