C.N.R. report

...

J.A. MacDonald, Vice-President of the C.N.'s St. Lawrence Region, speaking at the 58th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Transit Association, said that the railway as ready at any time to negotiate the use of its rights-of-way in urban areas for subways or the construction of overhead expressways and rapid transit lines above the tracks. He doubted that there were very many locations in which railway trackage could actually be jointly used by C.N. trains and rapid transit equipment since a major factor is the arrival and departure times of trains, which in many cases corresponds with the time when the trackage would be busiest with rapid transit services.

While the C.N.R. does not intend to expand rail commuter services of its own, it is willing to study any proposal for operation of these services on a contractual basis for other agencies.
