Trains.......
We used to have 2 a day to Montreal.....then it was cut in half to 1, and now it's down to 3 days a week.
Cape Breton is losing all trains, yet they want to develop a container pier to take some of Halifax business. The federal gov't has already chipped in to dredge Sydney's harbour.
Newfoundland lost it's narrow gauge railway in the late '60s. Pretty well all the spur lines have been abandoned or converted to 'rails to trails.
Trouble is..the entire Atlantic region of Eastern Canada ( 4 provinces) only has about 2 million people.

It sounds like a wise decision. If the train can't pay it's way, why
have it?
