opening in Nelson before he can try to relocate there.

“When is that?" he asks — especially in these > tough
economic-times. “As long as nobody moves...”

Grant points outside the Castlegar station to a tall
80-foot radio antenna and that he says is.the reason for
his forced move. “It'll eliminate, us,” he says. ‘

The new antenna allows dispatchers to speak with
trains anywhere in the province, instead of using station
operators as intermediaries.

However, Grant notes with some satisfaction that cP]

Rail hasn't started to use the new system in areas where
train traffic is heavy — like the East: Kootenays, where
coal trains work ‘around the clock.

But for Castlegar — where train traffic has slowed toa
crawl of late — it means the end of an era’ and the
dawning of a new age in our railway history.
