Federal agency approves rail line abandonment in Manitoba
The Canadian Transport Commission on May 16 authorized the abandonment of 284 miles of branch lines in west central Manitoba. CP Rail seeks to end Varcoe Lenore and Miniota divisions, while CN Rail plans to cease Rapid City Neepawa and Carberry lines. Shutdown runs from July 31, 1978, to December 31, 1979, to give elevator firms time to arrange new facilities.
