Recent closures of Highway 99 remind us that we could, and should, re-activate the BC Rail from North Vancouver to Lillooet. This time, however, it should be electrified using local hydro-turbines and power sources.
It will give truckers and travellers an alternative. Sure, it would take time to re-integrate it into our behaviour, but all the other signals tell us we’ve got to think more quickly and adapt.
