THE AIR WE BREATHE: SAY NO TO MORE DIESEL TRAINS
Say Yes to Train Electrification, Yes to a World Class City

The 2015 Pan Am Games are fast approaching. The world is watching.
A new Air-Rail Link (ARL) will connect Toronto Pearson International Airport
to the largest downtown transportation hub in Canada, Union Station.
This Air-Rail Link is anticipated to use single-level, self-propelled diesel-powered
railcars known as diesel multiple units (DMU). Plans are underway for major
spending to produce a new type engine for this train, Tier 4 Diesel, even though
long term plans are to eventually fade these out and replace them with electric.
Manufacturing any new type of diesel engine is not only a waste of time, it will be a
great expense to the taxpayer as well as affect the quality of life in many areas of
Toronto due to noise and air pollution, not to mention "Global Climate Change".
Many residents in areas close to Union Station are already unable to open their
windows or sit on their balconies due to smog and noise pollution from the line-up
of parked idling diesel trains waiting to get into Union Station during rush hours.
