Treating ice on road surfaces can be tricky and weather dependant. In cold conditions a lot more salt is needed to melt the ice so drive with caution and SLOW DOWN!

  • Saskatchewan currently has more than 1,400 km of railways under provincial jurisdiction. These include shortline railways moving grain and wood products, industrial railways providing service to facilities and amusement railways providing educational tours within some of Saskatchewan's heritage parks.
  • Shortline railways generally provide a link between remote delivery points. These include connecting small town grain elevators or northern mills with mainline rail carriers such as Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways, which move the products to port or other final destinations.
  • Provincially regulated railways are an integral part of Saskatchewan's transportation system and are throughout the province. (See Saskatchewan Rail Network below.)
  • These railways operate in accordance with The Railway Act and the Provincial Railway Guides. The Ministry administers and enforces the Act and can provide assistance and information with regard to any provincial railway matter.

 

 JUST A REMINDER: "All road traffic must stop for any equipment on a railway."
