I understand that that is the same reason that Fort Steele became a ghost town and is now an "heritage town" in eastern British Columbia, while Cranbrook, which did not try and buy up a bunch of land prior to the arrival of the railroad, ended up with the rail service. Fort Steele withered as a result.
