GO Rail Network Electrification
After 150 years, a new era of train travel is to begin when GO Transit electrifies all is rail corridors, including the Barrie Corridor, which runs from Parkdale Junction in Toronto to Allandale GO Station, in Barrie.   A recent assessment process has been completed and is available to the public for information and input.   Nearby locations for King residents include Newmarket Public Library, Markham Public Library and Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library.   Interested persons have until November 9, 2017, to provide comments.
The entire project could be 10 years in the making.
Please comment if you wish.
