Grand Trunk Pacific railway adopts a cut off in Northern Cariboo to save 100 to 150 miles. Chief engineer B B Kelliher says the line will run due west from Grand Rapids to Port George and offer better gradients than the original survey. The route passes near the Bear River coal basin and will align within thirty miles of the coal seams observed last year.
