Warn snowmobiles keep off railway A railway right-of-way is-no place for snowmobiles, warns J.W. Deck, superintendent CN police. "Because of the noise a snowmobile makes and because most drivers wear well-insulated helmets, it is almost impossible to hear an approaching train,, even when its whistle is blowing," he sayi. Lagt year, several people were apprehended for operating their snowmobiles on railway' property and were subsequently prosecuted. Fines ranged from $5. to $103.depending on the cir- cumstances, .• • The amended Railway Act clearly\ stipulates that the prac- tice is1.171egal. Settion 359 states; "Every person who, without authority therefor from the Com- pany, operates a vehicle upon the yard or right-of-way of the company, except where same is IN laid across or along a highway, is liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding $100." • Mr. Deck says CN intends•to maintain strict surveillance of its tracks again this year and will continue to apprehend and pro- secute snowmobilers who travel across tracks or along its right- of-way. Despite warnings and a sur- veillance program last year, at least three people were killed when their snowmobiles were struck by trains. Several more were injured. This winter, CN will continue its efforts to educate snowmo- bilers, and the company is dis- tributing safety posters to 'the news media, police departments and snowmobile groups across the country. Members of CN police also visit interested community groups, as part of the program to inform people about current laws which prohibit driving a snowmobile on railway property and of the dangers involved.
