is not something you ponder over breakfast each morning and it certainly isn t something local resident John Sommer expected as he left Saturday morning for Kitchener Mr Sommer hopped on the 18 a m train Satur day It was a little chilly that day eight degrees and the sun was shining into the windows when the train came to an abrupt stop On a crossing outside Guelph the train collided with a truck loaded with dead rout from a trout farm on its way to market Mr Sommer said We passengers sat in the immobilized train for about hours and were eventually taken away by taxi the hapless passenger from Georgetown told the Herald But during the entire time the trains dlesel power was snuffed out and the brake system was jammed passengers were left in the dark about the tram cot tiding with the truck Mr Sommer later found out the trucks driver was taken to hospital badly cut up and damaged but alive The damaged train was pulled by a locomotive into Guelph station The seven Georgetown passengers aboard the outof commis sion vehicle arrived back at the Georgetown station at about 11 30a m it was rather a macabre touch Mr Sommer said Some of the dead trout had attached themselves to the tram Thats how we guessed when the train had finally stopped kilometres away from the accident what we had collided with When the Toronto train taking passengers back to Georgetown passed the scene of the accident dead fish were littered around the tracks Mr Sommer said Some of the trout had been gathered into wooden boxes presumably still fit to be eaten Maybe John Sommers next

through CIDA will be frozen over the next three years The will not meet the rate of inflation or expanding overseas aid as hoped Mr Martin said The USC is urging people to write their local MP for
