Genesee & Wyoming Inc. celebrated the launch of its first railroad in western Canada, Red Deer Railway Limited.
RDR runs from Jackson, Alberta, to Homeglen, Alberta, and uses operating rights over Canadian Pacific Kansas City from Red Deer, Alberta, to Chigwell, Alberta, and Prentiss, Alberta.
A direct interchange with CPKC in Red Deer provides access to the North American freight-rail network, while RDR’s railcar storage capacity and railcar-to-truck transloading and railcar switching capabilities offer broader logistics services. The railroad’s 10 employees serve customers in the energy industry.
RDR acquired its assets and other rights from CPKC as part of a previously announced transaction between G&W and CPKC. In addition to its other 10 railroads, G&W’s Canadian operations include Railcare Inc., a railcar maintenance and repair shop in Hamilton, Ontario, and BMS Locomotive Service Group Inc., a locomotive maintenance and repair facility in Edmonton, Alberta.
