Re: “Stop dreaming about returning trains to E&N corridor,” April 29 — we have had many discussions over the years with Denise Savoie and her advocacy group regarding their dream of ripping up the tracks and turning the rail corridor into a trail.
The ICF supports trails on the corridor and believe rails and trails can co-exist, as evidenced by more than 100 kilometres of trail that have been developed on the corridor already.
We have invited Savoie to work with us, on more than one occasion, to further develop our trail network.
However, she is unwilling to accept anything but the complete removal of the track, and with it, any potential for rail service on the Island.
