Rail Line Abandonment Hearing Opens In Manitoba
The first of three hearings on CPR rail abandonment in Brandon ended without a solution. Lines from Boissevain to Lauder and MacGregor to Varcoe will also be heard this week. CPR seeks to tear up 25.6 miles from Carman to Plum Coulee, claiming 123300 annually in financial gain. Farmers associations for Kronsgart and Graham oppose, fearing loss of elevator investments and rail connections. A board staffer indicated a decision would come by end of January. CPR attorney H M Pickard and farmers’ lawyer Alan Scarth argued, with neither side satisfied by the other’s proposal.
