Residents want electric trains

posted November 16, 2010

On Tuesday November 16, 2010, 60 supporters of the Clean Train Coalition demonstrated in front of Metrolinx headquarters. Metrolinx is a provincial agency with the mandate "to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the (Greater Toronto) region." The demonstrators, worried about the health effects of increased diesel emission, are asking Metrolinx to use electric trains instead of diesel on the Georgetown South Project. The Georgetown South rail corridor is located a few blocks west of Campbell Park.
