His words not mine... but I suspect it will require a run-through train to make it work properly, with an NBSR crew doing the leg SJ to Brownville Jct in 8 hours, then a CP crew taking over, doing work, and getting to Montreal in the remaining 16. It should be possible once all the track work has been done.
As for customs, the NAFTA improvements circa 2010 with AES and e-manifesting significantly improved cross border cargo flow. Also, things will move in Bond for cars going Canada-Canada (or even still US-US via Canada) so that shouldn't create problems. Customs will certainly flag and stop cars here and there, but they can alert the crew before they hit the border to make a certain setoff well in advance. As it stands now, it isn't really a problem, and much improved from the years before.
