    We'll miss you Tom after you starve to death. Perhaps we could get permission for a cairn along the CP right-of-way.
    A plaque with the words "Jackson's Last Stand" would be appropriate.

    In the meantime get those fat reserves built up...you're gonna need 'em.

      Willy,

      Great to hear from you!

      I stocked up... now on Day two... I am now on reserve power!!!

      The 'native' tendencies in my character may be expressed... as the 'Idle no more' spirit may cause an attraction to a new farm activity... with special delivery to CN and CP lands my RR Alliance friends occupy.

      It is wonderful... that the previous 'Idle no more'... folks... broke trail and opened a whole new endeavor of Hunger Strike protests!

      If not... I could have looked forward to prison time... which had always been a special interest in my case... as in the last round of protests... I was not allowed to go to prison!!!

      Willy, do you think they will let CN and CP send me to prison???

      Sincerely, TRJ

          Agriweek, March 2 2015;

          "Keith Creel, the chief operating officer of the CPR, told a rail convention in Florida recently that the railway does not expect regulations for minimum movement under the Fair Rail law to be continued for the 2015-16 crop year.
          He said the regulation did not increase grain movement and is not necessary, since the railways are operating at
          peak capacity. In its submission to the rail transport review, the CPR demanded that the grain revenue cap be removed. It said crop prices have outpaced the cap, implying that farmers can be reasonably expected to pay more for grain freight."

          I wonder if the CN/CP Alliance... and CP CEo Hunter... were expecting a major protest to develop????

              The article mentioned peak capacity and you mentioned peak efficiency.

              A lot of difference between the two!

                Good thing the great Hunter... that roams the prairie... taking our grain ... is so articulate in communicating his desire to force his collective railway... into our farms grain bins! !!!

                  Speaking to our AORTA President Leo Meyer... Leo informed me that the great Hunter... cancelled over 100 brand new locomotive engines... something like the second day on the job... to "Create Shareholder value".

                  I don't buy the line... that the railway are running at peak Capacity.

                  If Hunter thinks I was born yesterday...and this this 'Tom Cat' does not have his eyes open yet...

                    Get a grip Tom - you were leading the charge to get rid of the best "AIRTRAFFIC CONTROLLERS" you are likely to have with regard to railways.

                    Then you are feeling gay?

                    Err, that wasn't what we meant when we said Harper came out of the closet.

                      Hunter actually is little more than an impotent puppet. The real villain is William Ackman, Harrison's puppet master.
