Some of you may not know but i work at cn here in calgary as a locomotive engineer. The new yard is going to contain two 10000' intermodal pad tracks with another two coming on later, the current yard at sarcee is restricted to running 9000' train account distance between 52st and barlow. The old yard is going to be taken over by the city of calgary as an lrt depot. Good news for me, bad news for those cake eaters out at conrich in the multi million dollar homes
The city has wanted CN out for awhile, when the yard was built years ago they werent running 12000' trains and traffic is a major issue now.
