Westward from Grande Prairie, AB, the Northern Alberta Railways fulfilled the earlier name of Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia for this portion with the 88 miles of line to Dawson Creek, BC, and in 1977 were providing thrice weekly wayfreight service with timetable trains No. 51 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from Grande Prairie and No. 52 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from Dawson Creek.
