Hopper car upgrades urged

  • . Today's Front Page Your Leader-Post Letters Hopper car upgrades urged Article Tools Font: Angela Hall, Leader-Post Published: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 After a 10-year effort to buy the federal government's grain hauling railways cars, the Farmer Rail Car Coalition (FRCC) says it's prepared to support Ottawa's decision to keep the fleet.
  • . But the Regina-based group says its support hinges on whether the government will commit to replacing and modernizing the hopper cars at no cost to farmers, and address other recommendations.
  • . "The coalition was formed because we felt that the cars were probably going to end up in the hands of the railways, which we wanted to avoid, " said coalition president Sinclair Harrison.
  • . "Now, 10 years later, we've avoided the cars going to the railroads and we would like to suggest if the coalition hadn't come along probably that would have (already) happened." The coalition, with members from 17 western organizations, has also long argued farmers pay too much to the railways under the revenue cap for car maintenance costs -- an issue that's now getting serious attention, Harrison said.
