"We dont need a train for the nickel."

Curt, how did you come to that conclusion? Seen a feasibility report? I have not.

I'm for a rail line but that is mostly based on preferences or conclusions made by other projects for decades. This far rail has shown to be cheapest transportation on land. So I stay with what has already been demonstrated.

Land transport is what is needed be it to Thunder Bay, Sudbury or Timmins? If one wants to reinvent the wheel then one has to have some firm and convincing data to back it up.
