Program of Construction Work In Saskatchewan Proposed By The Canadian National Railway
The Programme of construction for Saskatchewan railways aims for completion by August 1996. It outlines routes from Radville to Weyburn, Moose Jaw, Regina, and multiple branches including Willowbrook, Turtleford, Hafford, Kindersley to Glidden, and Sturgis to Peesane. The plan seeks to open new agricultural areas, shorten road hauls for farmers, and connect with Hudson Bay routes, pending parliamentary consideration and regional development.
