Just heard about the back room deal...Hello, <br /> <br /> <br /> Just heard about the back room deal to end the lease of the NBRRR and tear up <br />the railway lines from Nackawic to Millville. <br /> <br /> I googled rail riders and listened to CBC's Terry Seguay interview with Bruce <br />Northrup ( minister of Natural Resources )--- trying to use the excuse of a <br />future connection to the trail system???? <br /> <br /> I am familiar with the location of this rail line & am doubtfull it would ever <br />be connected to the trail system. <br /> <br /> I feel that it would be better served to leave the rails & maybe have people <br />experience the beauty of nature combined with a piece of History- the rail <br />system. <br /> <br /> I also see on Traingeek.ca that the 9.5 miles in question crosses a Beaver <br />Habitat. <br /> <br /> Has anyone thought of seeking a court injunction against the Province tendering <br />the removal of this section of track pending a FULL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />ASSESSMENT on the Beaver's Habitat??? <br /> <br /> Several years ago, a company from Nackawic, who were doing track removal <br />between Minto to Fredericton and the answer to beaver dams was to use <br />"SASKWATCH" ( a huge Clark Ranger Skidder ) to plow through them. <br /> <br /> Does not sound Environmentaly Friendly to the Great Canadian Beaver now does <br />it. <br /> <br /> Let me know your thought's. <br /> <br /> Thanks <br /> Admirer of rail & canadian beaverrail-loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598180098345433628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-22407273205662992162010-12-17T09:13:21.636-06:002010-12-17T09:13:21.636-06:00Hi and yes i wish that they would leave it alone ,...Hi and yes i wish that they would leave it alone ,the government its not costing them nothing and why not let the lease run for a few years more ,that will make the government more popular in the citizens minds .Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397594280484235248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-78797368715463645542010-12-13T08:42:56.492-06:002010-12-13T08:42:56.492-06:00Tim, The minister said he didn't realize peopl...Tim, The minister said he didn't realize people were so passionate about the rail line. Also that he would stay as long as it would take to make the group happy at the upcoming meeting. Those are pretty positive in my mind. See what happens at the meeting. I'm hoping to make it there.NBSRFANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014359132254362023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-92214305216465762542010-12-13T07:35:37.989-06:002010-12-13T07:35:37.989-06:00Look good?
