July 28, 2010
KINGSTON'S OUTER TRAIN STATION ON MONTREAL STREET IS ABOUT TO GET SOME MUCH NEEDED ATTENTION. THE LIMESTONE BUILDING HAS FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR FROM YEARS OF NEGLECT -- AND A FIRE THAT GUTTED THE HERITAGE BUILDING. THE CITY OF KINGSTON 'HAD' ORDERED A CLEAN UP OF THE SITE AND REPAIRS TO THE BUILDING BACK IN JUNE BUT IS STILL WAITING TO GET A TIME LINE FROM CN RAIL. THE BUILDING FALLS UNDER THE HERITAGE RAILWAY ACT, MEANING OFFICIALS NEED FEDERAL APPROVAL BEFORE ANY WORK CAN BE DONE ON THIS HERITAGE RAILWAY STATION. NOW, CN HAS AGREED TO DO THE REPAIRS BUT CANNOT START UNTIL THE APPROVAL IS GRANTED.
