RailwayThe Coalition for Algoma Passenger Trains has put out an urgent call for help — specifically at Federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt.  The message comes as the ACR Passenger Rail Service from the Sault and Hearst ceased operation under Railmark Canada on Wednesday.  In an afternoon release, the group talks about the importance of the service — economic importance to the tune of 38 million dollars through property investment and tourism. This after Sault Mayor Christian Provenzano announced Monday night that work is continuing to find another operator for the service. Group members are being asked to pass their message of urgency for the service to resume on to their local Member of Parliament or Minister Raitt through e-mail:
