HOMEGOODS FURNITURE WAREHOUSE Tues. - Sat., 9:30 - 5:30 China Creek “Drive a Little to Save a Lot” VALUABLE COUPON HHBHAAE “Where else will you find 80 pound track — that is 76 years old,” “couple that with old ties, poor drainage, inadequate ballast, heayy growth on and beside the track, and one bridge that is in fair condition and what you really have is a line that to all intents and purposes has already been abandoned,” he said. Brisco noted that the rail service is provided on a bi-monthly schedule which he says “is in effect, a CPR-imposed restraint on past, present and future use of the rail service offered.” The former MP went on to explain how much the line is used. Principal shippers include Columbia River Shake and Shingle Mills, Pacific Inland Pole and Piling, Carney Pole, Chernoff Brothers Sawmills and Canadian Propane Gas and Oil Ltd. All companies except for Chernoff Brothers either are shipping by truck or do not foresee any significant expansion or none at all, according to CPR. Chernoff Brothers are, according to CPR, planning an expansion but there is no comment on their present and/or future boxcar or reefer car requirements, wee ‘Phe company presently ships a mininum of three reefer cars every two weeks. The loads consist mainly of cants and some unfinished lumber, Brisco said. He noted that in the community of Hills, Scimatar ReSaw in one week recently shipped five carloads of ties. “This is a relatively new firm which is establishing an increasing inventory of lumber,” he said.

There will be games, stories and an Incredible Hulk contest for the children. The picnic gets underway late Sunday morning and will run through the afternoon. Another company, B.J. Carney and Company, have had a very poor two years and haven't averaged one car per month, Briseo said. However, the company is now buying poles — particularly 110-foot poles, and are buying in significant quantities to supply an improving market in Eastern Canada, the Eastern and Southern U.S., with a market opening up in Manitoba. “This company finds that shipping by rail is more efficient and less expensive than by truck,” Brisco said. “A truckload of 110-foot poles presents its own unique problems. On some sections of the highway, it requires two pilot cars and a specially equipped truck,” Brisco said. Pacific Inland Pole and Piling has also suffered economic hardship, he said. The company estimates it only shipped 10 cars of poles in 1983 and six cars so far this year. But the company has indicated that the railway can be a handicap in meeting a specific shipping deadline. Borealis Water Resources is a new firm that will go into production in Nakusp as soon as arrangements with the provincial government are complete. It will be in the business of selling pure containerized water to markets in California and Eastern Canada. The-company estimates their rail requirements at one reefer car per week. “They state that the freight rate quotes from the CPR in Nelson are outrageous compared to much more competitive rates from Revelstoke quoted by the CPR in Kamloops,” Brisco said. He asked why the CPR, with the federal subsidy they receive, cannot put the line into acceptable condition. He also questioned CPR's desire to make a profit on losses, noting that in 1982 the company's actual losses were $500,416, but they claimed a subsidy amounting to $617,000, and were paid a preliminary subsidy of $573,000. “Why does the CPR always apply for more subsidy than they receive?” “Obviously the Canadian Transport Commission feels the CPR is padding it’s costs, because the CTC never pays the full amount of subsidies applied for by the CPR. “The CPR, in their submission, may seek to make comparisons with similar lines and similar losses,” he said, adding that the comparisons are not valid because the line is unique in that it is served by tug and barge service. Brisco said that at the 1975 hearing in Nakusp he stated that for months in advance of the application for abandonment, the CPR was telling its users that they were going to cease service. “They deliberately set out to discourage users from using the railway and urging them to use trucking,” he said. “Now they are telling us the users either have no markets or are not planning increased usage and greater demand for ears. That is simply not true. I suggest they don’t want to provide the service to further enhance their losses in order to receive the subsidy.” the recession. lost our jobs. economic recovery.
