Kars - Gyumri Railway Line

Armenian Communication and Transport Minister Andranik Manukyan has said that "reconstruction" is being carried out on the Kars-Gyumri line. (via A1 Plus)

Now if Turkey does the same on the other side of the border, and lifts the blockade... I wonder what the consensus is on the potential of opening the train line. I know that many Armenians don't want the border opened, fearing a sudden buy-up of property by Turkish companies, but what good (or bad) could be done by the opening of the railway line?
