Dominion cannot revive Dominion train this summer
A Commons transport committee was set to examine a CPR plan for reviving the Dominion passenger train this summer but CPR President Ian Sinclair said rapid work is unlikely. He estimated two to three weeks for emergency work but four to five months for full service, with cancellations affecting western provinces and the ongoing government review of CPR passenger policies. A weather note follows: a weak disturbance from the Peace River area brings showers and a few thunderstorms to western and northern Alberta, with southern Alberta mostly sunny and isolated storms later today and Thursday.
