Prairie Rail Grid Faces High Costs and Political Hurdles
The Prairie Rail Action Committee chairman warns the basic Prairie rail network may be impossible to fully fix. Regina University economist Professor F W Anderson notes rail costs are largely public, predicting political courage and cross-transport pressures will push costs onto grain producers. He cites potential $330 million public cost for upgrading 2343.6 miles and urges ministerial action to decide line additions or eliminations while PRAC provides extensive data to affected parties.

He cited continued high rail costs as road hauls rise with farm delivery needs and elevator closures. He urged renewal applications be submitted to the Motor Vehicle Branch offices across Manitoba with postal delays acknowledged.
