The Canadian Pacific took the toughest approach possible on the gardens and the fruit trees next to their unused tracks on the Arbutus Corridor in Vancouver. They begin digging up pushing aside everything with heavy equipment.
The City of Vancouver was going to buy the land from the Canadian Pacific for $20 million dollars. The management at Canadian Pacific need a bigger return on their unused tracks so they set the price at $100 million dollars.
There are several stories about Vancouver and the Canadian Pacific on the CBC website.
