County wants
better rail
service here
BY SHARON DIETZ
Huron County Council has suggested
rail service be improved in the county to
provide a more economical and energy
efficient method of transportation.
The suggestions are contained in a brief
sent by the county to the Ontario Task Force
on Provincial Rail Policy. The brief,
prepared by the county's development
committee, suggests the time of travel must
be cut down and the cost of this travel
lowered.
The brief points out that the discontinued
rail passenger service has had a detrimental
effect on the young and old, those who
cannot afford the luxury of automotive
transportation.
Transportation of raw material in and out
of the county is steadily increasing and the
cost of this transportation makes the
establishment , of manufacturing in Huron
unlikely, states the brief. Transportation
therefore, should be as inexpensive as
possible to the residents of the county and
industry.
Perhaps, suggests the brief, it is the role
of rail in this province to help achieve an
inexpensive transportation of people and
material.
The county also suggests the rail lines
would be used by passengers if the service
established was reliable. No one would take
a car to Toronto or Hamilton if a good rail
line or airline, at reasonable passenger rate,
were established with a dependable
schedule.
Modern technology, says the brief, could
cut down the time in travel for passengers.
The county of Huron makes the suggestion
that a one car service from Goderich to
connect with the present service in either
London or Stratford would make available a
service which would be used.
This in effect would take automobiles off
the road and conserve needed energy.
If a new techno14:tgy system was
implemented for freight, says the brief, the
county is sure that part loa&shipments of
material would more than pay for the
service. This would also take off the road
many trucks which haul steel or a' 'like
product into this area. This again would bea
saving in energy.
Reeve Calvin Krauter of Brussels
commented that a one car service should be
established along the north rail line through
the county as well as along the line between
Goderich and Stratford. He said people in
the north part of the county would like to' use
rail service as well, and he would like to see
the suggestions presented in the county's
brief implemented.

"Volunteers understand
