Rail line costly for B.C.

VANCOUVER (CP) —
British Columbia will spent
$470 million to build a rail
line to its northeast coal
fields because a potential
power project blocks the
path of an easier, cheaper
‘route.

:. Canadian National Rail-
‘ways was forced to abandon
‘plans for a spur lin€ into the
coal fields, the cost of which
was estimated in 1977 at
$195.5 million, because B.C.
Hydro is still considering .a
river. diversion that: would
have flooded much of the
‘right-of-way.

} Crown-owned B.C Railway
‘has started construction on a
‘spur line to the fields which
carries a $316-million price
. itag in 2980 dollars, but it is
expected to cost $470 million
‘after accounting for inflation
‘up to 1983.

interview from Edmonton said. “If the decision had

that Phillips told him, “while
Hydro didn’t have immediate
plans to proceed with the
McGregor diversion, it was a
possibility. that couldn't be
ruled out.”

DIVERT RIVER FLOW

The diversion involves a
107-metre-high dam about 80
kilometres east of Prince
George that would divert-the
river's flow to provide more
power for the W.A.C, Ben-
‘nett dam on the Peace River.
