GRAIN RECORD

CP RAIL has set a new record for
the month of June for export
grain moved by rail from
Canada’s three Prairie provinces
to the Port of Vancouver.

The record of 925,761 tonnes,
made up of the six. major grains
of wheat — barely, oats, rye, flax
and canola — surpassed the old
record of 816,570 tonnes set in
1988.

Fred Schultz, manager of grain
transportation for CP Rail, said
10,728 railears. of grain were
delivered to. North Shore and
Vancouver terminals in June.

He added that if the grain cars
delivered to the port for the
month of June were placed
together as one train, the train
would stretch for over 200
kilometres:

“To set the record required
precision planning, which included
moving trains from originating
stations on the Prairies directly to
the Port of Vancouver, stopping
only to change crews,’’ said

- Schultz.

“Setting the. record was a

challenge. But most satisfying was

“our ability once again to clearly
demonstrate to the industry and
the regulators that we are a
dependable, customer-sensitive
transportation choice.” ‘

CP Rail used. mostly — solid
1}2-car trains measuring almost
two kilometres to move the grain.

Mid-train’ power, or robot
units, a concept developed by CP
Rail, aided in moving the trains,
each of which carried about
10,000 tonnes.
