( , 'Dr. Hugues Bonin a native of Sherbrooke, Que., resides in Kingston, Ontario, where he is Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Royal Military College.' by Hugues W. Bonin I cannot be much wrong in stating that happiness for a railfan can be defined as finding an all A\Co railroad that few other people know. Well, in the case of the Asbestos and Danville Railway, this is almost true, since I have yet to see an article on this obscure short line in one of the many railroad publications I read regularly since nearly two decades. Before proceeding further, please allow me to translate the French title of this article: "The Asbestos and Danville Railway: Do You Know It?". So much for today's French lesson, but the reason for the French title is that this interesting short line is located in the heart of the French-speaking Province of Quebec. But let not the linguistic problem deter you from going to this nice area, since a good part of the" Quebecois" speak English as well as French. Did I mention an all Alco railway? Sure did! This is exactly what the Asbestos and Danville Railway is, ifpurists allow me not to differentiate between Alco and Montreal Locomotive Works diesel locomotives. The Asbestos and Danville Railway exists for the sole purpose of serving the needs of the Johns-Manville Canada Canadian Nation station at Danville. Incorporated huge asbestos pit located in the town of Asbestos, Quebec. This small mining town is situated about 100 miles Operations are now confined to hauling tailings from mills to (160 km) east of Montreal, in the middle of a very picturesque dumps, and general freight between Asbestos and Danville region of the province called "Cantons de l'Est" or "Estrie" which also includes freight service to the surrounding community. (Eastern Townships). This area is famous for its numerous As of now, the A &D roster consists of 10 1000 HP MLWand farms in a hilly landscape, which produce among others the Alco-design diesel-electric locomotives, all painted in orange major part of the province's maple syrup. The inhabitants are and black, with black lettering. The MLW unit, #50, is a quite noted for their "joie de vivre", and, besides the numerous Canadian-exclusive model S-13, which uses the 25 I-engine, farm products, the Eastern Townships are famous for the lumber more modem than the 539-engine of the older MLW and Alco and furniture industries, and, of course, for the rich deposits of S-4 previously used by the A&D. When time came to replace asbestos ore. the worn-out S-4's, the A&D preferred to stick with the same Asbestos is indeed the strangest of all the minerals, as it engine which has given satisfaction, and to go on the second­ presents itself as filaments imbedded in the rock. The asbestos hand market. Suitable replacements were found as A\Co S-6 's threads can be weaved to make fireproof materials such as retired by the Southern Pacific, and acquired through locomotive clothes, but other uses have been found such as in brake linings dealer Chrome Crankshaft. It is interesting to note that the S-6 and insulation materials. It can be mined in underground model was absent from Canada until its acquisition by the galleries, but, at least in Quebec, it is cheaper to use the open pit A&D. method to get to the ore. Typical freight service is operated on a two-shift basis, 6 It is quite surprising to see that the town of Asbestos is built so days a week. The 0800 to 1600 shift (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM) has close to the pit, with a huge mountain of tailings dominating the two 3-men crews, while the 1600 to 2400 shift has only one houses on the north end. This mountain resembles a Mexican 3-men crew. Each crew hauls approximately two to three trains pyramid, and it is close to its base that one can find the A&D to and from Danville, about 25 empties up and 35 loads down, yard and shops. Like everything else in Asbestos, the A&D is plus the required switching per shift. The tailings operation is intimately linked with the asbestos business. The railway is also performed on a 6-day week, but on a twenty four hour owned 100% by the Johns-Manville Canada Incorporated and basis, hauling trains of 11 cars each, each car containing an operates some 22 miles (35 km) of trackage, including the average weight of 80 tons of tailings. Two trains per shift are 6-mile (9.7 km) long mainline to the Canadian National used, with a frequency of two trains per hour, for an average of interchange at Danville. 35 to 38 thousand tons of tailings in 24 hours.

    Who Won the Battle of Village Lake Louise? Park Planning, Tourism Development, and the Downhill Ski Industry in Banff National Park, 1964-1979 by Qi Chen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Recreation and Leisure Studies Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation University of Alberta © Qi Chen, 2015 ii Abstract This study explores the history of stakeholder politics in the controversial debates over proposed plans for Village Lake Louise. A new ski resort village plan proposed for Banff National Park in 1971 triggered intense debate and mobilized protests from the Canadian public. Public consultation hearings attracted high participation and the proposal was ultimately turned down by the Government of Canada. The key proponents of the proposal were the National and Historic Parks Branch, Lake Louise Lifts Ltd. and Imperial Oil. Key opponents included National and Provincial Parks Association of Canada, Alpine Club of Canada, Bow Valley Naturalist Society, Environmental Law Association, as well as academics and members of the broader public. Using development to justify preservation was a rationale deeply entrenched in the philosophy of Canadian national parks administration and policy making. During the debate, Premier Peter Lougheed and his Alberta intergovernmental affairs minister Don Getty exercised a new provincialism that challenged Ottawa’s jurisdiction in national parks, further complicating the politics of development and tourism pertinent to Lake Louise. Federal Minister Jean Chretien responded with a rejection of the proposal and maintained national parks authority and control. Final victory for conservation advocates in 1972 was an unlikely outcome that warrants closer examination.

  • Please Stop the Cruel Omnibus Crime Bill. We Can Make Canada Safer, Not Meaner
    Please stop the cruel Omnibus Crime Bill. We can make Canada safer, not meaner. To our Federal and Provincial leaders: We agree that Canadians should work together to make our country a safer, more just place for everyone. However, we have grave concerns about the proposed federal Bill C-10, the crime bill that is currently being rushed through Parliament in Ottawa. We don’t want the federal government to impose mandatory sentences that will fill new prisons with people who should not be there. We have seen that strategy fail completely in the United States. Why would we repeat that dangerous experiment here in Canada? We need to focus on the causes of crime, instead of paying endlessly for the consequences. We believe that Canada should use an evidence-based approach to justice.
