Huron County Council wants
more information before agreeing
to a proposal by CP Rail to close a
rail line between Goderich and
Guelph.
The company plans to apply to
the Canadian Transport Commis
sion for the abandonment of an
uneconomic section of railway line
which runs between the northwest
outskirts of Guelph and Goderich.
Company representatives met
recently with B. G. Hanly, county
administrator, to explain that the
line handles an average of fewer
than ten carloads of traffic a month
in each of the last two years at all of
the intermediate points combined.
The track is part ofthe CP Rail
Goderich subdivision which runs
from Hamilton through Guelph to
Goderich.
The company spokesman also
indicated to Hanly that in recent
years potential railway traffic at
Goderich itself, which is also
served by Canadian National
Railways, has faced intense com
petition from Great Lakes’ vessels
and this has had an adverse impact
on CP Rails earnings.
CP Rail is meeting with munici
palities affected and shippers in
the area before making a formal
application for abandonment of the
line.
County Council approved the
recommendation of its planning
and development committee that
the director of planning and
development take a close look at
the request.
Council referred back to its
executive committee a request
from Ontario Midwestern Rail
Services for support in its opposi
tion to abandonment of area rail
lines by CN and CP.
The group also asked council to
support Project ReRail in its
proposal to assume ownership
and/or operations of CN’s and
Board of Education butts out
Members of the Huron County
Board of Education have passed a
motion that smoking be permitted
in only one location within the
Board office in Clinton.
Following the lead of education
centre employees, the board unan
imously agreed that smoking
would henceforth take place only in
the staff room at the centre, which
would be equipped with an ecolo-
gizer in an attempt to provide clean
air for everyone using the building.
CP’s rail lines.
Council was also asked to
support the concepts of Projects
ReRail and Ontario Midwestern
Rail Servicestodevelopan inte
grated economic development pro-
gram beneficial to industries,
communities and the railway.
The executive committee had
recommended no action on the
request because it found the letter
confusing.
However, Tuckersmith Reeve R.
M. Bell, who had moved at the
executive committee meeting that
the request be filed, said he had no
hesitation in recommending it be
referred back to committee so it
could take another look at it.
The policy decision was made
following a recommendation by the
board’s executive committee, and
went into effect immediately fol
lowing the board meeting in
February 2.
Last year, trustees passed a
motion prohibiting smoking in the
board room, but provided them
selves with a 10-minute “comfort
break” each hour, in order that
smoking could be done elsewhere
in the building.
