When asked about support for the railroad during the 2021 Nova Scotia election campaign, one premier’s office candidate replied: “If a case can be made.”Īt present, the railroad’s future in Cape Breton is locked on hopes of a container port for Sydney, but that is uncertain and in the last decade there have been few positive signs that this project will go ahead.

The task now is to identify a future for trains without a container port. This is largely due to advances in many land management. In 2014, the rail-line owner estimated the cost to rehabilitate the line at 30 million (could be a little more today) to support freight train. We optimized a large number of dust & particle-related objects so that they are now framerate-independent If you found that during lag, certain building, footstep, undo or deletion dust would linger on longer (thus increasing the lag even more), this should now be fixed. With the industrial base in Sydney now largely gone the only major potential rail user left would be transfers to and from Newfoundland. implementation of Decision Support Systems (DDS) for the geospatial domain over the last decade. But there is no assurance whatsoever that this traffic, now by truck, would return to rail in part or in full. However, many of these transfers are drop trailers ideally suited for rail and if these shifted from truck to train maybe a break-even rail operation could be established and grow.

Otherwise, I can find no other source in the Sydney area large enough to be the rail line’s anchor customer. The first step, however, has to be getting the line back in shape and this must be done soon as decay and rot is taking its toll. Manyland is a 2d sandbox browser MMO game. In 2014, the rail-line owner estimated the cost to rehabilitate the line at $30 million (could be a little more today) to support freight train operating speeds at 35 miles per hour.
