Northgate

Sounds like an oil pumping terminal.

Who could have ever figured that out.

New $90 million commodity hub planned for southeastern Saskatchewan

NORTHGATE, Sask. - A major grain storage and handling company is planning a $90 million hub in southeastern Saskatchewan to ship grain and oil.

Ceres Global Ag Corp. has bought about 607 hectares of land in Northgate, which is east of Estevan, along the border with North Dakota and plans to build the commodity logistics hub.

The hub would be connected to BNSF Railway's United States rail network.

It says the connection will give shippers access to customers in 28 states, Pacific and Gulf ports, and Mexico along BNSF's nearly 51,500 kilometre network.

Construction is planned to start in the spring, with initial grain and oil shipments expected later in 2013.

The facility will be built over three years, and has been designed ultimately to handle up to 40 million bushels of grain annually and 70,000 barrels of oil per day

Seems like a positive for the area. One thing I don't understand thou. Why do greenie groups spend so much time and money fighting pipelines, yet say sweet eff-all about rail, which is (depending on who's numbers you use) 2 to 9 times more likely to spill the oil being transported?

And another thought, how many people die each year driving their cars into the sides of pipelines? I got this tidbit off of another website, &quot;According to the US Department of Transportation there are about 5,800 vehicle train crashes each year in the United States-usually at Railroad crossings. These accidents kill 600 people and injure about 2,300.&quot;

One off was all over this.....like an
envelope..months ago. A pipeline is only a fuss
when something goes wrong and hits the media. I
have physically never seen a pipeline, or would
even know what it was if i stumbled over it.
So far, Railing oil at this time, looks like economic
development in the area. It is perceived as more
business, employment and investment to the
general area. It's far less safe and efficient but
people don't care until it goes wrong.
Kind of like municipalities trying to keep existing
rail lines. You can tell a working man/woman that
the rail line has economic value, its highly efficient
and helps remove the traffic stress on the
highways, they don't see it. Three years later, the
new highway is patched up like a heroin addicts
arm, and somebody's child rolls a vehicle, then,
somehow, it's a problem.
It's only a problem once it affects my comfortable
way of how I make a living..

Just a little more info that knew/should have known/decided to release. A googd question is if it takes more than two sections of land for a non Canadian entity to put up an oil transload facility and grain terminal. Also I believe cotton climed he knew and wouldn't tell...months ago. Anyways here's another tidbit that talks of two rail loops.

Plans are in place to build a $90M commodity logistics hub in Southern Saskatchewan.

The plan is to build the hub in Northgate (just north of the Canada/U.S. border), with two high efficiency rail loops – one handling grain and the other handling oil.

Construction will begin this spring and the facility is expected to be completed within in three years. It has been designed to eventually handle up to 40 million bushels of grain annually and up to 70,000 barrels of oil per day.

"The Northgate hub is good news for Canada's economy and particularly good for Saskatchewan and Western Canada,” said Michael Detlefsen, President of Ceres, the project’s developer. “It will help ease the bottleneck of getting commodities - especially grain and oil - out of Saskatchewan and will provide a new and competitive option for shippers and exporters."

Shipping from the new hub is expected to begin by late 2013.

For those who watched the news on tv; last night; the file photo of the rail line clip showed Stewart Southern Rail locomotives as the backdrop.

Maybe that means absolutely nothing; and is a coincidence; but remember that Corus and the parent company Ceres has a 25% interest in Stewart Southern Rail reepresentatives comprising 20% of the bard of directors.
