C. N. R. To Abandon Petircodiac-Elgin Branch

o'l'rAWA (CP) -The Board of Transport commissioners yester- day authorised the CNR h aban- don the Ellln subdivision. 11V: miles sf railway between Pet- mlas and tight in New Bruns-

e .

la a written judgment. the board lid abandonment of the line would save the CNR at least 38.000 a

year.

"The loss of running the divi- aton to the railway outweighs the loss and i.....nvenience to the pub- He." the board said.

”Wa can readily appreciate the feelings of the opponents. Losing their railways line is somewhat akin to losing an old friend but more comes a time when it is nec- essary to prune out the dead limbs from the tree.

"At times it is inconsistent to re- quire drains upon the revenue flow- ing from operation of un rofitabla

d unnecessary branch lnea even

the operation of the system as a whole is profitable.”

UNI TRIP A WEEK

At a public hearing in Moiicton. I. 8.. Feb. 14 and 13. the CNR presented figures to show the Petitcodiac-Elgin line lost 93.34 H i053 and 33.166 in 1951.

AbIlld0l'lH!:ui of the line was up-

sad mainly by lumber operators

ut the board said none proved the line could ever be put on a paying basis.

The branch into carried no pas- sengers. Because of the track. only the lightest locomotives could use it and at a speed of not more than 15 miles an hour.

The board said the freight trains ran on an 'if. as and when basis," the average being one rdund trip a week.

The line was opened to traffic in 1870 and originally was known as the Petitcodiac and Elgin Branch Railway Co. It was taken over by the Canadian overnment railways system, later t e CNR. in 1918 for 530,000. lt now is oper- ated by the Moncton division of the CNN: Atlantic region.
