Westbound Grain empties having just descended the 2% grade from Binscarth crosses the Assiniboine River before assaulting the 2% grade up to Harrowby. The Bredenbury Sub. on CP's north main crosses the Little Saskatchewan River at Minnedosa with 2% grades east and west and also the Birdtail valley between Solsgith and Birtle on 1.5% grades each way earning the line "Manitoba's mountain railroad". In steam days this area was only location on prairies that use 10 coupled locomotives
