Newly-Created Shortlines

Here I will list lines that are just being created and have no name, or which I have no roster info for.

Westcan Rail Limited

Canadian Pacific is selling over 330 miles of grain-dependent branches in Saskatchewan to Westcan. Westcan plans to call the new company Great Western Railway. The lines involved are:

• Altawan Subdivision from Shaunavon to Consul
• Notukeu Subdivision from Consul to Val Marie
• Shaunavon Subdivision from Limerick to Shaunavon
• Vangaurd Subdivision from Meyronne to Wymark

Cando Contracting

Cando has recently taken over two sections of railroad:

• CP's Owen Sound subdivision from Streetsville, ON to Orangeville, ON
• Lakeland & Waterways from Boyle, AB to Lynton, AB to be called the Athabasca Northern Ry.
