Mining and forestry. They are cyclical. Mining has returned but a lot of people left in the late 80s and 90s. And the kids leave. Oh, and I left. (Because I could see the writing on the wall)
What has disappeared from the local economy that has caused the populations to drop?
Does anyone have a copy of the Northlander schedule before it was cancelled in 2012? Also, I think there has been some discussion/speculation on what a better schedule would look like. I think I even remember reading articles back in 2012 where employees had suggestions on what a better schedule could have been. Thanks in advance for any information.
I do recall that one of the reasons people I know stopped using it / reduced their usage, was because of the schedule. 30 years ago, the train left Toronto at night -- we would arrive home early morning after a pleasant trip in the sleeper car. That was back when it was a daily train and well used. I can't remember how it was scheduled in its later years -- because I never took it any longer as it wasn't as convenient/comfortable.
