New studies support need for regional railway system The release of two major studies is being heralded by regional railway supporters as the fuel necessary to encourage federal and provincial government support for their cause. Released at Orangeville last week, the studies were commis sioned by Project ReRail, an Owed Sound-based public interest group that has worked more than 10 years toward rational renewal of rail services. The group hopes the studies encourage the two senior levels of government in their support for the creation of a commercially self- supporting regional railway system in midwestern Ontario. The Optimization and Implemen tation Study was prepared by Iron Horse Consulting Ltd., experienc ed railway engineering and opera tions consultants, and the Extend ed Market Study was prepared by Nurse ’s Assistant Things are seldom as they appear.

The money raised will be donated to Children’s Hospital in London. All 60 prizes were generously donated by Brussels merchants. The living doll next to Cheryl helped make one of the draws.

Leaving Saturday they arrived at the Yorkdale Holiday Inn where they were to stay. That evening they attended the Roy Thompson Hall to hear the Toronto Symphony perform two acts from Wagner. Some even managed to stay awake for both acts. Sunday was their chance to perform at the festival. There were six other secondary school bands competing in the event. F.E. Madill played “Fox Fire’’, “Re flections”, and “Majestia.” Brussels merchants held another meeting on May 16 to finalize their plans for Fun Fest. Licensing has been received for permission to close off the downtown area. Businesses will be offering enter tainment, specials, and other fea tures for everyone’s enjoyment during the festive weekend. Brussels resident, Barbara Brown travelled to Ottawa via Fettes Tours recently as an obser ver. Since that time she has been hired on a part-time basis to escort various tours.

The Iron Horse study demon strates that a full regional system - with proper capital funding - can earn sufficient revenue to be a financially successful operation with some initial one-time capital funding assistance from senior government as provided for under the National Transportation Act. The Wilson Marketing study identifies a very high percentage of area shippers responding to the survey are willing to use an improved competitive rail service. This could mean better overall operating results beyond those described in the Iron Horse study. The Iron Horse study recom mends that the new railway initiate commuter rail service to Orange ville as part of start-up operations and also proposes that the new railway locate its head office there. Project ReRail co-ordinator Peter Bowers said the reports bring the group much closer to the comple tion of its business plan and capital financing arrangements. “They also point to the urgent need for the federal and provincial governments to get their policies and programs in place to create a truly competitive transportation system for Canadians and to renew rail service in areas such as midwestern Ontario,” he said.
