    An Opinion as to the Extent to which the Decisions by Cabinet to Terminate The Northlander and Divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission Are Based Upon, Supported By, Justified By, or Are Otherwise Derived from Methodologically Sound Research Dr. Barry Wellar, MCIP Distinguished Research Fellow Chair, ONR-ONTC Research Task Force Transport Action Canada Principal, Wellar Consulting Inc. Report prepared for Transport Action Ontario and Transport Action Canada February 2013 An Opinion as to the Extent to which the Decisions by Cabinet to Terminate The Northlander and Divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission Are Based Upon, Supported By, Justified By, or Are Otherwise Derived from Methodologically Sound Research 1. Purpose of Report This report addresses the connection between the decisions made by Cabinet to terminate The Northlander (the passenger train service of the Ontario Northland Railway (ONR)) and to divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC), and the research which was undertaken to provide the basis, logic, rationale, grounding, framework, criteria, etc., for the decisions. In particular, and as the final report in this phase of ONR-ONTC Research Task Force activity, the focus of this report is on the question which was instrumental in launching the project: What is the extent to which the decisions by Cabinet to terminate The Northlander and divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission are based upon, supported by, justified by, or are otherwise derived from methodologically sound research? The purpose of this report, therefore, is to confirm the extent to which the decisions by Cabinet to terminate The Northlander and to divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission were based on methodologically sound research, and to then outline some of the research-related implications and consequences that arise or could arise as a result of how Cabinet conducted the deliberations which resulted in the termination and divestment decisions.

    7 BRASS CAR SIDES 7 Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners CANADIAN NATIONAL AND VIA "EASTPORT" SERIES PULLMAN-STANDARD 8 DUPLEX ROOMETTE, 4 BEDROOM, 4 SECTION LIGHTWEIGHT SLEEPING CARS (PLAN 4124A) [Part No. 173-38] When CN placed its enormous order for lightweight cars with Pullman-Standard in October, 1952, it committed itself to 52 cars in the "Eastport" series, (CN 1110-1161). The 8-4-4 mix of accommodations had first appeared in the 1947 GN Empire Builder "Pass" series, but open sections were of limited popularity by 1954 when these CN pullmans were delivered. The longevity of these cars in CN and VIA service is attested to by the fact that some of the class were the only ex-CN sleepers still running on the few steam-heated VIA trains in 1994. The April, 1955 Official Guide shows these cars assigned to the Continental Ltd., Inter-City Ltd., pool trains, Nos. 45-46, the Northland, Nos. 193-194, Nos. 211- 212, and other trains. (This writer recalls riding in the bedroom of an "E" sleeper on the Super Continental from Vancouver to Jasper to Winnipeg in 1972.) BRASS CAR SIDES is pleased to offer these sides with the research assistance of Canadian modelers Al Lill, Robin Lowrie, Stafford Swain, and Lloyd Perkins. Features unique to these cars or not previously incorporated in our PS sides include the recesses behind the horizontal grabirons, space for fixed steps, lighted car number indicators, and the stretcher window. We also produce sides for the CN "Green" 6-6-4, 18-roomette "South", 17-roomette "West", 4-4-2 "Cove", 22-roomette "Val" PS sleepers, and the CCF-built CN 5437-5654 coaches.

This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • 2021 Ontario Pre-Budget Submission Rail Is the Backbone of Canada's
    2021 Ontario Pre-Budget Submission Rail is the backbone of Canada’s economy and, even in challenging times, Ontarians continue to benefit from resilient freight and passenger railway services. The Railway Association of Canada (RAC) represents 21 railway operators in Ontario, accounting for more than 9,000 direct railroad jobs, and approximately $2.5 billion in direct GDP. 1 - Supporting Shortline Railways More than a dozen shortline railways in Ontario provide a low-cost, safe and emission-friendly service. Shortlines perform a vital role in our rail-based supply chain by providing crucial first- mile and last-mile service, connecting rural economies to the world. Curently, shortline revenues narrowly outpace expenses, which are growing on account of regulatory requirements related to grade crossings, environmental considerations and insurance. RAC believes that Ontario can do more to support shortline railways through grants, tax credits and low-interest loans. Recommendation: Create a dedicated capital funding program to support shortline infrastructure investment. 2 – Endorsing High Frequency Rail VIA Rail’s proposed High Frequency Rail (HFR) project represents a key infrastructure initiative that will contribute to Ontario post-pandemic economic recovery. HFR is a shovel-worthy project that will create jobs, while reducing GHG emissions. Recommendation: Collaborate with the federal government in launching VIA Rail’s HFR project to create employment, stimulate sustainable growth and leverage the environmental benefits of moving more passengers by rail. 3 – Enhancing Canadian Freight Railway Competitiveness Ontario needs a competitive tax framework to further incent railway infrastructure investment and ensure that the sector can maintain a robust supply chain and facilitate future volume growth.
