Rail study recommends Continued from Front Page freight system in the region, the study says, and can continue to handle 99 per cent of the current traffic' "with little or rio in- convenience". In the case of Wingham, currently served by CN and CP rail lines, both of which are losing money, the study proposes that • CP be per- mitted to abandon its line running from Orangeville to Teeswater. • Since this would cut off the Premium Lldyd door factory here, one of the major users of rail freight in the area, it proposes constructing a short spur from the CN line across Water Street to the door factory. The CN line would be kept open from 'Listowel to y ingham to serve this factory and Ontario Hydro's Wingham transformer station. Both the town and Hydro had submitted briefs to the MTC, asking that some rail service be retained, and the , study proposes construction of the "short track diversion as the most •economical solution. Premium Lloyd. had warned that if it lost its access to rail freight, used to bring lumber from the West Coast,- it might be forced to close. the factory, The company rejected truck transport as too costly: • The study notes that of 138 rail carloads received in Wingham in 1979, the door factory accounted for 128, making it by far the largest rail usep,on the line. . In all, the study looked 'at 14 rail branch lines in the midwestern Ontario -Bruce region. Nine of these lines reported operating losses for 1978 amounting to $1.5 Million, and . the study concludes it is advisable some of the lines be aban- doned. "Losses incurred by CN and CP Raftild potentially by theiaadian-taxpayer, in the form of subsidy demanded, will be sub- stantially reduced if the study's recommendations are implemented," , it reports. . It adds that CN ,and C1 "are agreeable to retaining' and operating the ration- alized network ...for a min- imum .period of five years, on condition that • sub- sidies will be provided by the.

The study also examines the economy of the area and concludes that, except for potential future development of mineral aggregates in the area around. Durham and industrial development to use steam and hot water from the, ' Bruce Nuclear. Power Development, agriculture wilt remain the cornerstone, of the economy. This area currently ac- counts for close to $1 billion or 30 per cent of Ontario's agricultural output, corn parted to onlytwo percent of, the province's industrial production. The report says the rationalization of branch lines should have no impact on the transportation of cattle to the area. The study also looks at the economics of transportation 'and concludes that while in many cases rail is four or. five times. more energy efficient than truck trans- port, this is not always true. The energy efficiency of rail decreases significantly on short hauls or light density lines, it notes, and there are instances when truck transport maybe more ef- ficient.
