Comments on: TRR runs on an on demand basis, majority of the customers are in the community of Choiceland, car storage is also another lucrative business for the railway. Todays job, was to run light along the 28 miles of track to Nipawin and grab 24 tank cars from the CPKC interchange for storage. Afterwards, we would then return to Nipawin with 10 empty hoppers to be returned to the CPKC. Travelling east, we pass through communities that once housed the iconic wooden grain elevators that scattered the prairies. Garrick still has its siding where the elevator once stood and is used for car storage. The namesake town of White Fox which gives the subdivision its name still host’s it original Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator. A far cry from what once was as White Fox hosted at one point in time, three elevators and a station, is down to one elevator. Thankfully, it has been lovingly cared for and is still used for bulk shipments. On our return, we would drop 12 cars in the siding at White Fox.
