Canadian Pacific yesterday announced two winners of its Elevator of the Year award: Viterra Gull Lake (Canada) and CHS Northland Grain Hazel (U.S.).
The Class I presents the award annually to grain elevators that achieve high volumes from a single loading point while consistently demonstrating efficient rail-car loading and a strong commitment to safety, CP officials said in a press release.
For the 2019-2020 crop year, CP recognized elevators on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border.
"These elevators are leaders in their field and have contributed to CP moving more grain and grain products in this past crow year than ever before, supplying the world with high quality North American products," said Joan Hardy, CP vice president of sales and marketing grain and fertilizers.
Located west of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, the Viterra Gull Lake elevator became 8,500-foot, high efficiency product (HEP) train capable in early 2020.
CHS Northland Grain in Hazel, Minnesota, has the capacity to load up to 110-car trains that are sent to both domestic and international markets.
