G3 opens grain elevators in Alberta, Saskatchewan

G3 yesterday announced its two new high-efficiency grain elevators in Canada — G3 Vermilion in Alberta and G3 Swift Current in Saskatchewan — are in full operation.

The elevators have 42,000 tonnes of capacity and railway loop tracks that allow for fast and efficient loading of 150-car unit trains, keeping grain moving quickly to market and increasing delivery opportunities for G3's farmer customers, company officials said in a press release.

Both new elevators offer convenient road access to area producers and are well-positioned to ship grain by rail quickly to G3 Terminal Vancouver, the company’s state-of-the-art grain export terminal on the West Coast with access to global markets.

G3 Vermilion is located on CN; G3 Swift Current is served by Canadian Pacific.
