OBS

The Vancouver Rail Task Force (VRTF) was established in 1977, under the auspices of WESTAC (Western Transportation Advisory Council), when the Government of British Columbia, the British Columbia Railway, and the VJCRU recommended at the Vancouver hearings of the Grain Handling and Transportation Commission, that a Task Force be established to improve the rail transportation system in the Vancouver Area. It lasted until 1982. Its objective was "to increase the reliability, speed, efficiency and safety of rail car movement through the Vancouver Terminal Area." To do this, there was a project team created consisting of the Chairman, from WESTAC, a senior representative of railroad management, a senior representative of railroad labour, and one senior representative of the Federal Government.
