Antonio Advance Reporter Mayor Walter Streelasky learned more about CN Rail’s ongoing and future activities in Melville during a recent trip to Halifax, N.S., such as the addition of more tracks in the rail yard and more rail cars pass- ing through the community. Four new tracks are being laid down to allow for an extra 200 rail cars to move through the commu- nity, Streelasky explained during city council’s June 18 regular meeting. He met with Sean Finn, the executive vice-presi- dent corporate services and chief legal officer of CN Rail, to learn about CN’s projects during a side meet- ing at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) meeting in Halifax. “It was a very good meeting,” said Streelasky. “CN is very concerned. One of the concerns raised is the movement of commodities. So their intent was to say, ‘How do we improve this? How do we get things mov- ing?’ They saw this particular site as a very import- ant site in that whole transportation mode.” A Y-turn is being installed this summer to allow locomotives to turn around and be placed at the front of rail cars, Streelasky reported. The speed of a line of rail cars depends upon whether the locomotive is at the front or rear. Nearly five kilometres (three miles) of track is being laid down west of Melville. CN expects to com- plete the project in 2019. Meanwhile, CN is laying double a set of double tracks from Melville east to Waldron. A loop or roundabout is being installed at the new G3 grain elevator to allow locomotives and rail cars to turn around. The new elevator is expected to open in about three weeks. Streelasky represented Melville in CN’s 2018 an- nual report, where he said, “The City of Melville is Miller School students Sarah Powell and Keaton Halyk attempt to help their team win a game of tug of war against their class- proud to be the site of a key centre for CN.
