"There have been two fatali- ties on Dunlop Drive and one on Watson Street, I would have thought that would make the railway more sensitive to the problem in this area," The hold-ups were due to bad timing, and were the fault of the railways for not giving their crews instruction, he continued. "Please do not wait until you get this yard started before you give us a solution," Mr. Roberts said the timing of the switching was dictated by the industries concerned, not by the railway. ACTION NEEDED In answer to a question by Councillor Hugh O'Connell, he said that if details of the date and time of a hold-up and the number of the engine concerned were given, CNR would deter- mine which crew member were responsible. would avoid all the congestion Whitby, The only thing he could per- haps do to help during the next six to eight months was to take stronger di ry 'action with the crews, he said. "We appreciate Whitby has been very lenient to us in regard to the crossings and we have been very lenient with our crews, It appears we must do something about this." ; Mayor Newman said the council's worry was the temp- tation to motorists to go around the gates at the crossing and get caught on the tracks, Mr, Roberts said it would be suicide to shorten the crossing protection circuits, FAULT OF CREWS Councillor Tommy Edwards School Parking Poses Problem WHITBY (Staff) -- Hazards, Applications from two com- panies who want to bring cable TV to the town will be con- sidered by the council meeting as a committee of the whole next Monday.
