Railway Route Comparison Across Nelson and Limestone Rivers
The report weighs routing choices for a transcontinental line from The Pas to Port Nelson versus Fort Churchill. It analyzes river crossings near Nelson and Limestone, harbor costs, terminal space, and distances. It projects 3,000 trains yearly with grade impacts, tundra weather concerns, and construction costs to determine the best route.
Minimum charges revealed for Canadian rail freight per mile
Analysis shows operating costs per freight train mile around 1.50 to 1.80 dollars with fixed charges pushing total to about 1.75. Grose earnings per freight mile are cited at 2.59, implying net revenue just over 2 dollars per mile. Based on 3000 trains annually, the text argues this as the minimum required collection from the public to cover costs.

Port Nelson Route Favored for Western Canada Rail Terminus
An analysis shows Nelson route at 420 miles would save at least 420 000 annually as terminus. If train mile charge remains 1 76 and traffic stays under 3 000 trains yearly the Nelson advantage grows.
