The federal government will invest $5 million to improve the efficiency of rail logistics in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.
Marc Garneau, the Minister of Transport, announced the investment plan on Dec. 29. The funds will be injected into Alberta’s midland infrastructures to increase capacity for building trains and storage for both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific rail networks. These measures will improve the fluidity of trade corridors and gateways and reduce bottlenecks along Western Canadian rail networks.
