The Editor,
Ron McKinnon, the MP for Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam, is a pleasant gentleman but what have he and the federal Liberals done about the booming and clanging of the orchestra of trains continually passing through our village of Port Coquitlam?
Especially after 10 p.m. and through the early hours of the morning, when working stiffs are trying to get rest for the next day’s slog and kids trying to get rest for school.
Each train whistles four times and the lines through PoCo are very busy. There is no need for this noise after 10 p.m.
So MP McKinnon, do something for your constituents and amend the Railway Safety Act to eliminate the whistles after 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. (as is done in the U.K.) and let PoCo people rest at night.
Joe Collins, Port Coquitlam
