lol Saskatchewan car!!

Good news is that the Boundary Trail Railway now owns this trackage and is going to run it, screw semis!

[JDeereGP]

Awesome video! Liked the end with all the bugs chirping..

[TrainmasterCurt]

And another thing, Grain and Train rhyme, they were made for each other, in the future Trucks will be very uneconomical and costly, i think just like bus transit, there is bad backroom deals going on which screw the public

[TrainmasterCurt]

Is'nt it much more econimical to have 2 or 3 engines pulling 90 cars, then 90 semis on the road.......Or is this just bad foresight?

[JDeereGP]

Actually, there's roughly about 3 to 4 truck loads per car.. I hauled grain for years and also depend's on the size of the trailer? Each railcar is about 3 to 4 truck loads.. Yes, this train just took about 300 plus trucks off the road..

Love the Saskatchewan grain cars.

[TrainmasterCurt]

They should turn this into a shortline, or may'be CANDO could buy it if CPR sells it?

[KazGrafix]

that line goes from boissevain to killarney \

[TrainmasterCurt]

I hate trucking! We need to invest more in rail, in a postive good foresight

[KazGrafix]

we almost went to Napinka

just to have a look, Did you notice when you were in Souris they refurbished the paint job on that caboose...

[rsensorat3]

Yup, Ninga's still there!

[KazGrafix]

between Boissevain and Killarney just east of the Ninga cutoff

[TrainmasterCurt]

Is this on the Napinka sub, on the way to Killarney? Must be a branch line

[KazGrafix]

this is on the napinka to lariviere sub

they are planning to shut it down in favor of more reliable and economical diesel semis that now cost almost 2000 dollars per fill - go figure (note sarcasm) we should document it further
