BC Rail operations
eet back to normal

BC RAIL operations are expected to be back te normal by
Saturday, now that the second of two native Indian blockades set
up on the North Vancouver-based company's mainline track this
week has come down.

On Wednesday, the Mount Currie Indian Band took down the
rail blockade it had set up Tuesday near Lillooet, just hours after
an RCMP team enforced a B.C. Supreme Court order and
dismantled a blockade set up last Friday by the Seton [ncian
Band, also near Lillooet.

BC Rail spokesman Barrie Wall said during the course of the
two blockades, the company had rerouted some of its freight
traffic along the Canadian National's Prince George line.

“We still have between 15,000 and 17,000 pieces of freight
backed up. We have locomotives and rolling stock on the CN line
and it will take a while to get that equipment back to our line,"
Wall said Thursday.

He added that while the passenger service, which had been
discontinued during the blockades, is now back to normal, the
number of passengers using the service is down.

“We have to get the passengers back. We had a passenger train
leave North Vancouver this morning (Thursday) but we only had
60 passengers on board where we would normally have about
100,”’ said Wall.

He added that the only plans BC Rail has to make sure another
blockade does not occur is to re-serve its B.C. Supreme Court in-
junction prohibiting any further blockades.

“It’s a blanket injunction. There's not much you can do, really.
We're relieved and pleased it’s over,’’ said Wall, who estimated
that BC Rail lost about $1 million during the course of the two
blockades.

The natives had set up the blockades to protest the lack of
negotiations concerning the issues of land claims and aboriginal
title.

SPORTS SEDAN FOR
THE PRICE OF AN
IMITATION.

With the recent introduction of the

BMW 318i we have a reincarnation of
the original 4-door sports sedan. An
automobile that brings back premium
performance and the pleasure of pure
driving exhilaration. Truly, the only

similarity between the BMW 318i and
the imitations is the price tag itself.

She added that advertisements
