I’m rooting for them to succeed but the volume in all this is a bit intimidating.

I keep seeing the proposed 100 car trains being loaded every day, slamming into the reality of railroading in the eastern US.

What this proposes is much more than utility supply unit trains (where the utility owns the cars and wants to see them move.) The eastern rail lines have too many choke points for the proposed 100 cars/day.

Now multiply that challenge by at least 10 and you get the volume the Keystone XL would be delivering.
