CPR Submission On Service Change
The document outlines CPR plans to discontinue trains 105-106 due to passenger and express losses. Express traffic moves overnight to Winnipeg by passenger or fast freight to Minnedosa, with some traffic shifted to highway trucks from Minnedosa to Portage la Prairie and Binscarth Inglis. A Brandon-based trucking operation would serve Minnedosa traffic six days a week, with mail traffic transferred by road if a tender is accepted. No change to current carload rail freight.
