Aside from those considerations, I'm guessing the ICE's overhead isn't worth what it would bring in for CP.

Surely they want to deliver some PRB coal trains there. Also, they'd want to keep access to the Kansas City gateway for interchange. Although, anything is possible with the STB, we'll have to wait for the final verdict.

It's redundant to the CP system, but there's little chance the STB will allow abandonment. While the DME will probably become history, there’s a good chance the CP will spin of the ICE.
