Railways Seek Deficit Payments for Alberta Coal to Ontario
The Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways petition the Board of Railway Commissioners for reimbursements claiming deficits in hauling coal from Alberta to Ontario last year. The railways cite a $6.75 per ton base rate and a claimed loss of 39 898.35 dollars for CPR and 206.65 dollars for CN, with further dispute over true costs excluding overhead. Drumheller observers note the 13.46 dollar Alberta-Ontario rate figure aligns with prior hearings, while railroads count on costs beyond the fixed rate.
