Closure extended for CP Rail Crandall to Miniota line
The Canadian Transport Commission extended the Crandall to Miniota section of CP Rail until March 15, delaying closure from December 31 1978. Manitoba Pool Elevators hopes to move up to 100 000 bushels more grain via Miniota if winter quotas and boxcars arrive, avoiding truck deliveries after mid February. CN plans private elevator siding at Quadra connected to CN mainline, with a passing track possible later to handle 1980 traffic growth.
