As much as I am a fan of rail, pipelines are safer and more efficient and don’t have as much difficulty with sand drifting. Especially with a train to nowhere as this would be.
I feel like the train is more future proof than the pipeline, but I suppose if the pipeline ran underground it might alleviate issues with elevation differences. I wonder how that all compares for the timeframe to implement.

But it’s a crappy workaround in any case.

Train from one place to another is more useful once the strait opens for sure.
Canada has a pipeline running over the Rocky Mountains. Elevation will be fine. But it will be susceptible to munitions.
