Moose Jaw upgrade update

As part of our commitment to providing superior customer
service, we are also focused on operational excellence and
continue to make targeted investments in our asset network.

This summer, we made significant upgrades to our Moose
Jaw, SK facility, including a 12,500-foot double loop track
that can accommodate up to 148 CP high-capacity cars and
3 locomotives for continuous loading. We also installed an
upgraded shipping system to make loading more efficient
and reduce loading times. Other improvements included the
construction of a new access road and upgrades to existing rail
on the east and west leads. The upgrades will allow Viterra to
ship 40% more grain from the facility.

The facility loaded its first train since the upgrades on
September 23, 144 cars with durum destined for Thunder Bay.

The next phase of the upgrade will see a new office for the
Moose Jaw facility which will be completed in early 2024. First train being loaded since the upgrade on September 23.
