Bowden Alberta - Canadian Pacific Railway will provide service for a new, mammoth, grain terminal in Alberta.
 
Paterson Grain opened the Foothills Terminal, the latest addition to its provincial network, in Bowden on 29 Aug 2018.
 
Foothills, a high-throughput inland export hub, can store 2.2 million bushels of grain, and ship 75,000 bushels per hour.
 
The facility also includes a 150 car loop track capable of loading a unit train in eight hours.
 
A fully automated truck loop design ensures fast turnaround for delivering trucks.
 
Paterson Grain, a unit of Paterson Global Foods based in Winnipeg, will use the facility to move grain to its export terminal at the Port of Vancouver 660 miles west.
 
It's the company's fourth inland export hub in Alberta.
 
Earlier this year another grain handler, Grains Connect Canada, began construction on the first high-throughput grain terminal in the area, in Niobe, about 11 miles north.
