Media Advisory - "Cancer Train" Sings the Blues About the UP Express

Toronto Musicians Band Together for Electric Trains

TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2013 /CNW/ -

Who:	The Green Wall Boys, an ensemble of musicians and filmmakers from Roncesvalles who have joined together to advocate for the electrification of the Georgetown South rail corridor.
What:	Cancer Train Music Video Release Party - It's a party with a purpose. A protest song because Transportation Minister Glen Murray will not discuss an alternative with concerned residents.
Where:	The Dizzy 305 a Roncesvalles Avenue
When:	Wednesday, October 9, 2013 6:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.  (Video Premiere 7:15 p.m.)
Why:	The Union-Pearson Express will use new, imported Tier 4 diesel engines that exist only in prototype and operate nowhere commercially. An electric train system would offer more service and provide significant cost savings without 16-feet high concrete noise walls and the health threats posed by an eight-fold increase in diesel train traffic.
