Truck crash opens rail versus road grain transport system
A big step in the right direction for Canadian grain transportation, while also ensuring farmers don’t need të”킹카지노o dë”킹카지노rive long distances every day to harvest.
Maggie Spence at The Globe and Mail notes the government’s latest rail project has helped to secure $6 million in investment, with a separate, but similar train line proposed as part of the planned rail infrastructure.
“The rail project to upgrade rural rail operations in rural Saskatchewan has received funding through an existing provincial and federal investment program and will be completed in 2013. “This funding enables First Nations to upgrade their rail operations. To this date, nearly $18 million in rail infrastrucë”킹카지노ture assistance has gone to First Nations and has created over 10,000 new jobs in a rural Saskatchewan.”
The railroad has been a mainstay of Canadian grain transportation for years and is scheduled to be the backbone of the $40 billion investment announced Thursday by the Minister of Transport.
In addition to the $6 million, the government is also taking part in the provincial and federal public/private consortiums that are developing the rail route and will be leading construction of an overpass on the route, to help farmers get to and from their mills.
While this project is now underway, it does seem possible to avoid the truck and train crashes currently plaguing Canadian grain transport.
At press time, the federal and provincial officials with stake in developing the railway had no comment regarding their involvement.
