On the flip side, they'd get the money from the trackage rights.

And they'd have to deal with the scheduling nightmare of some 60 mph freight that moves slower than the local. As for the trackage rights, that presumes that would cover the extra maintenance for these extra, heavier trains. The CSX train tipping over two years ago on the Hudson Line is why everybody was perfectly content with chasing away the freight years ago.
