Thanks to a new time- saving system devised by Operator Ernie Krause, the 38-ton (34.5 metric ton) backhoe was offloaded from its flat car and put to work within a few minutes. It scooped up tons of gravel mixed with the remnants of the original trestles built in the 1880's and later filled in. Then the new culvert was installed, section gangs under foremen Ken Michano and Robert Rausmussen swiftly replaced the track, driving spikes, tightening nuts, shovelling ballast. Slow flags were placed on the line and Conductor Dave Speer and Locomotive Engineer Ilan Fummerton headed the work train for home. The whole operation, typical of the kind of jobs done on the line all summer, took four 'hours. Minimizing Delays The task of minimizing delays extends to equipment maintenance and fueling.

A gold rush at Hemlo, east of Marathon, promises a whole new type of business as ore starts coming out of the mines that seem likely to Northern Affairs be built. Come what may, railroading in this big chunk of the Canadian Shielf will continue to be a problem - and an adventure. One might think that with all the natural hazards around them, the accident rate among the division's 800 eployees would be high.

GREER The Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations have recently announced the estab- lishment of a new com- pensation fund for car buyers. The Motor Ve- hicle Dealers. Compen- sation Fund will be es- tablished in early 1984 and will lend an extra measure of protection for the car buyer who has been caught in a dealership bankruptcy or who has a legitimate unpaid claim against an automobile dealer. The Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensa- tion Fund will replace previous requirements dating back from 1965, where dealers posted a $5,000 bond in order to protect the consumer. The old requirement which has been deemed inadequate by inflation will remain in effect until the Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund is operational. The fund will be financed by industry through levies against motor vehicle dealers and will be con- trolled by a committee of dealers, government and appointed repre- sentatives. ; Once this fund is fully operational, car buyers who have made a down- payment on the pur- chase of an automobile from a registered deal- ership will be able to apply to the fund for compensation if the dealership is placed in receivership, goes into bankruptcy or fails to protect the buyer's deposit as required by legislation. As_ well those consumers who have unpaid judgments against a dealer for damages suffered as a result of a transac- tion involving a trade in a motor vehicle will be allowed to apply for compensation from the fund for the amount of the judgment. In short, the fund will increase protection for the consumer which re- ducing paper work and saving dealers money when compared to the cost of bonding.
