Canada: largest ever grain train shipped
Canadian Pacific (CP) has shipped its largest ever grain train. Consisting of 167 new high-capacity hopper cars, the train was loaded at Paterson’s Foothills Terminal in Bowden, Alberta, and then carried 16,313 t of grain to Alliance Grain Terminal (AGT) in Vancouver.
The train was loaded by Paterson in less than 14 hours, and once released from its Foothills Terminal, took less than four days to reach AGT, where the cars were unloaded and sent back.
“Our new third generation grain terminals are amongst the most efficient grain facilities in the world today,” said Paterson’s CEO Andrew Paterson. (ben)
