When municipal officials say the track washed out due to a very heavy rain, well, uh, ya, that's true. It's also true that neither the municipality nor the 3-municipality's CCFO have ever budgeted for proactive culvert maintenance along that line. Real railway companies are required to do so.

For others: I haven't personally read through them but there are studies and other documents relating to the rail/trail here (mostly in french only).
