Asset Network Upgrades
Over the summer, we made significant
progress on our two expansion projects
at Lethbridge, AB and Winkler, MB. At
Lethbridge, construction of our new loop
track is complete along with a variety of
automation and shipping upgrades. At
Winkler, we have completed our 6,000
metric tonne storage expansion and just
completed the commissioning process. Both
facilities are now capable of loading up to
144 railcars, and are the latest examples of
our ongoing and targeted efforts to optimize
our asset network and ensure we’re well
positioned to provide our customers with
great service. Congratulations to everyone
involved in the successful planning and
execution of these upgrades! Our new loop track at Lethbridge, AB. Winkler, MB storage expansion project.
