Convenient for a government that could just eminent domain your property for peanuts maybe.

Private businesses can do whatever they want as long as they don't damage private property.

Besides, most land along railroads is government property. Why governments need so much land to begin with is beyond me though.

It is a convenient system for dividing land and redefining borders and roads without landowner consent.

In 2010, a company called "Bioversel Trading Inc." apparently paid CN Rail to ship the same trainload of biodiesel across the US/Canadian border 24 times, at a cost of $2.6 million.  The reason is not clear.
