Winnipeg’s Rail Relocation Plan | Winnipeg News
Description
Manitoba’s launching a 90-day study to move freight trains off Winnipeg’s congested core—quieting neighborhoods, freeing up land for homes and parks, and boosting city flow. Led by former transport minister Lloyd Axworthy, the plan proposes a new rail route along Manitoba Hydro land near the southern Perimeter Highway, with potential greenbelt integration. The team is evaluating costs, feasibility, and stakeholder buy-in from major railways like CN, CPKC, and BNSF—all while aiming to make Winnipeg smarter, greener, and more livable.
