Passenger service
halted indefinitely

NORTH VANCOUVER-based BC Rail will continue to keep its
passenger rail service sidelined, despite assurances by the Seton
Lake Indian Band that it will not set up any more blockades
along the Crown corporation’s maintine track.

Last week BC Rail announced the cancellation of all passenger
service, except for the Royal Hudson, and that freight train ser-
vice will be confined to daylight hours only.

The announcement came zfter an army of RCMP officers, us-
ing clubs and dogs, took Gown a blockade of BC Rail’s mainline
track at Seton Portage. The blockade was set up by several dif-
ferent Indian bands.

Seton Lake Indian Band Chief Rod Louie said no further
blockades will be set up by his band members.

But BC Rail spokesman Barrie Wall, while saying he was glad
to hear the Seton Lake Band has decided to halt further:
blockades, said the company will only resume passenger service
once it is sure no other Indian bands will set up blockades.

“We're very pleased Chief Louic has given that undertaking,
but there were several other bands involved in setting up
blockades, like the Pavilion Band, the Fountain Band, the Mount
Currie Band and the Penticton Band,"’ Wall said Tuesday. **We
need to have assurances from those other bands. We reed to he
sure that we can offer our customers safe and reliable transporta-

Wheat pool
fire doused

THE NORTH Vancouver City Fire Department was called out to
a fire aboard a ship docked at North Vancouver's Saskatchewan
Wheat Pool recently.

A fire department spokesman said a ship docked at the wheat
pool was being ioaded with alfalfa pelicts and a tractor was being
used to level out the load when the tractor caught fire due to an
electrical problem.

The operator jumped off the burning tractor and the fire
department was called.

A fire crew, which had to take its truck onto the pier, doused
the blaze using special chemical foam. A minimal amount of
damage was done to the cargo, although the tractor was fully
engulfed in flames.

The tractor was worth an estimated $120,000.
