The CPR, in another move to make things difficult for the E&N Railway and VIA Rail has decided not to allow Herzog to use the Victoria Shops. As a result, VIA Rail Canada has filed a lawsuit against the Canadian Pacific Railway seeking a court injuction to allow Herzog to use the Roundhouse and shops in Victoria. Until a decision can be made, the Budd RDC’s will be deadheaded to Victoria from the Wellcox yard in Nanaimo, a distance of 70 miles!!
The CPR can take a flying leap as far as I’m concerned. I’m so sick and tired of them pulling this crap just because they don’t want the E&N to succeed where they couldn’t be bothered to.
