Rail Terminal

Comprehensive Track Expansion

The Cando Rail Sturgeon Terminal project, with a value of $6,400,000, was a major undertaking aimed at significantly expanding the terminal’s track infrastructure. This ambitious project included the construction of 146,600 track feet of wood tie track, establishing a robust foundation for future operations. The installation of 33 #8 turnouts, 4 #10 turnouts, and a #12 mainline turnout was central to enhancing the terminal’s switching capabilities and operational efficiency. Additionally, 416 track feet of wood plank road crossings were installed to facilitate smooth rail-to-road transitions. To ensure safety and operational reliability, 30 bumping posts and 2 double switch point derails were also installed. This comprehensive upgrade aimed to support increased traffic and improve overall terminal functionality.
