A powerful visual seeing a full container train of double stacked cans in McLure headed northeast adjacent to Highway 5 on Friday March 1, 2024. The image emphasizes how rail travel through this critical corridor takes the pressure off the highway with loaded containers headed to Edmonton and beyond. The 182 rail cars shown equal 364 product loaded containers moving across the country. These containers would otherwise be individually hauled by transport trucks. (Photo by: Hettie Buck)
