	The Northlander
		In 1976, the Ontario Northland Railway (ONR) acquired all four of the remaining trainsets (Number 501 had been lost in a wreck) for use in their new Timmins-Toronto express service.
		The trains were not run in the push-pull service they were capable of as the ONR determined, for reasons of passenger safety and to minimize the effect snow-covered rails could have on the train, it would be best to run the trains power coach forward when running in passenger service.
		These problems were compounded by the collision of the Northlander and a CNR train in North Bay on September 9th, 1991, which badly damaged one of the trainsets and destroyed one of the dedicated FP-7Am's used in the service (click here for a description and pictures of the accident).

		It has come to our attention that a significant effort is underway to complete the sale of the Ontario Northland Railway, and it appears that you are now "rushing" this entire matter through in order to have it completed prior to the upcoming provincial election being called.
		As you are aware, this Act is binding on the Crown, its Commissions, and by extension on all activities performed by the ONTC, and of course on ONR operations themselves.
		Might I also suggest that you have likely overlooked that the ONR has activities and interests extending into Northwestern Quebec, and that it is highly unlikely that our neighbours to the east were consulted on this matter.

		This year's trip was a 2 1/2 week expedition to Northern Ontario, with the main objective the Ontario Northland Railway.
		Unlike all other previous trips to Northern Ontario that I have made since moving here 20+ years ago, the Algoma Central would be low on the priority list, simply because there is little to nothing left of the ACR as I knew it when working there over twenty years ago.
		While the weather wasn't the best (essentially it sucked!), it was still a lot of fun, and I finally got some decent Ontario Northland slides in the collection.
