She's done a great job, bringing ONR back from the brink under her tenure.. Maybe another EH Harrison in the making.
The ONR is just a shadow of what it was and what it means to the Northern Ontario. Being a ward of the Provincial Government and dealing with 2 extremely unfriendly resource development Governments in Ottawa and Toronto it is a wonder it is still there.
Their logo used to state "Ontarios Resource Road". That has all but disappeared. At one time recently they were down to one 'feel sorry for you' bridge traffic freight a day.
The rails up to Moosonee from Cochrane are indispensable and vital to all the good folks along that route.
The potential is enormous still for this railroad, they need governments supportive of resource developments, nation building and free markets instead of welfare, drugs, gender issues and hyper destructive climate issues.
Ulrich Maybe another EH Harrison in the making.
Maybe another EH Harrison in the making.
For the sake of the customers and employees I sure hope not!
The ONR has always been a political football, and in recent years none of our major political parties have cared about the North.

A company wanted to build a rail line from the new "Ring of Fire" mining development to a connection with the CN. Ontario politicians insisted that they also had to continue the line over some abandoned CN ROW to connect with the ONR. It sounds like that onerous condition killed the whole project.
