Gravel Purchase Sets Stage For Faster Neepawa Line
The Canadian National Railway bought the entire 160 acres to obtain 20 acres of gravel for ballast at a cost about $1000 above the gravel’s asking price. The plan calls for ballast work on the Hethany to Elphinstone road bed to shorten Neepawa to Russell trips and reduce accident risk. A ditching machine will start work immediately to prepare the grade for ballast with spring ballast ing to begin.
