I think we have had enough mentions on the NOT board to drop the idea and any efforts to initiate development of a rail line.
At this point it would be wise to just concentrate on the road for NOT to get going and alow other companies to persue what they fel is best long term for the ROF and atrating long term investment into Ontario. If there is ample evidence that mining in the area can continue for up to 10 years then it makes sense to make long term plans and that would definitely require rail.
It cannot be "left out" at this point because of the work and financing required. Both the major players should be encouraged to continue their efforts with the full support of others in the ROF because any headway would be positive for al.
