The Canadian Transport Commission plans hearings this summer and fall on the Lyleton, Morris Hartney, and Rossburn rail subdivisions in Manitoba. Local farmers and businessmen resist abandonment, while commissioners may hold one central hearing per line with potential additional sessions for longer routes. CP Rail Lyleton serves six elevators and 170 producers. CN Morris Hartney line has 24 elevators and about 7.9 million bushels annually. CN Rossburn line covers 19 elevators and 1,170 producers delivering about 4.1 million bushels yearly. Local advocates push to retain service as PRAC previously recommended abandonment dates.
