Contact: DON'T CUT loose the caboose. That's the message Ald. Ernie Crist’ wants North Vancouver District Council to give to the up- coming Railway Transport Com- mission (RTC) hearing in) Van- couver, The commission will hear input on whether the caboose and crew should be removed from trains operating in Canada. Crist made a motion at Mon- day's council meeting that ‘we in- form the RTC that this council is opposed to the removal of the caboose at this time.” The move came in response to a letter from the United Transporta- tion Union soliciting local gov. ernment input on the issue before the hearing sclwauled to take place in Vancouver Nov, 20. CN and CP Rail have applied to replace the caboose und rear crew with a monitoring device, “A caboose crew can see many things from the back that a gadget connected to a wheel cannot see,” said Crist. “The transport of chemicals and dangerous goods is of great con- cern to us, We've had many acci- dents in the district and we've nar- rowly escaped serious incidents in the recent past."” According to Mayor Marilyn Baker, a third of the dangerous goods passing through the Lower Mainland moves through North Vancouver District.
