Canpotex is a joint owner of that facility with Teck Resources, which ships coal.

They also have trainsets that are blue. The cars are little shorter than the Canpotex cars. This train was 730 axles (175 cars). Wintertime Canpotex are usually 710 axles (170 cars). This train went in the siding at Gap. It seemed to use a bit less of the siding than a Canpotex would but both are in the 8500' range. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/11/20 15:05 by KickingHorse.
