• "End of line for Niagara freight trains"
  by Dan Nolan (Torstar News Service)
  in The Toronto Star December 20, 2001 page A4.

  [ News item:
  Niagara Falls part of CS being abandoned.]

  [Opinion:
  A sad day. The timing (5 days before Christmas), the lack of coverage, and the subsequent snowstorm (7 feet of snow in Buffalo) discouraged spectators and photographers.]

  [I have this.]

• "Niagara rail bridge eyed for truck use"
  by Rob Ferguson (Torstar Business Reporter)
  in The Toronto Star April 30, 2002 pages C1 and C11.

  [ News item:
  CS bridge at Niagara Falls may be paved and widened for trucks.]

  [Opinion:
  Wouldn't it make more sense to put the trucks on trains? That could be running years sooner, cost less to do, and avoid most of the pollution. Some of the paperwork could be done en route to save time, and some trucks and freight could even arrive or leave on trains.]

  [I have this.]

• "Railway boosters lobbying to stop track destruction"
  by Dan Nolan (Torstar News Service)
  in The Toronto Star October 12, 2002 page A21.

  [ News item:
  CS track from Dunnville to St. Thomas being removed.]

  [Opinion:
  This only makes sense IF the next step is to relay the track with heavy duty rail for modern trains, instead of building more highways.]

  [I have this.]

• "Railway capital of Canada"
  by Mitchell Smyth
  in "Eye On Ontario"
  in The Toronto Star June 21, 2003 page K10-K11.

  [ Article about Elgin County Railway Museum, in "former Michigan Central Railroad repair shop", some of the equipment there, and Jumbo.]

  [I have this. It has minor discrepancies?]

• "Ships at the crossroads"
  by Kathryn Korchok
  in The Toronto Star January 17, 2000 page C7.

  [Brief history, effects of privatization, photos of a lock and of a ship.]

  [I have this.]
