LINGENFELTER WELCOMES CP RAIL EXPANSION IN MOOSE JAW

Released on May 8, 1995

Economic Development Minister Dwain Lingenfelter today welcomed the
announcement that CP Rail System is constructing a second track east
along its mainline for 4.8 km between Moose Jaw and Pasqua, and is
expanding its diesel locomotive maintenance program in Moose Jaw.

The expanded locomotive maintenance program is expected to create
nearly 50 jobs at the company's Moose Jaw facility over the next five
years, and twice that number over the next decade.

The double-tracking will result in operating efficiencies which will
reduce travel time for freight trains and expedite the movement of
grain, potash, coal and containers to major Canadian and United States
centres, as well as saving the railway more than 700 litres of fuel per
day. The construction will create 125 person-years of employment.

"Saskatchewan, more than any other province, is truly a part of the
global marketplace," Lingenfelter said. "This announcement by CP Rail
System will help ensure the products and commodities of our major
exporters get out to their international customers quickly
and efficiently.

"Whether it's wood products, potash, uranium, grains, oil and gas,
technology, or any of hundreds of processed and manufactured products,
our economic base is diversifying and expanding like never before.

"Railways have been vital to the development of Saskatchewan since the
earliest days of settlement. Rail has also been a major part of Moose
Jaw's economy. Although air, road, pipeline and electronic movement of
people, goods, services and information have since transformed our
transportation picture, rail still plays a vital role."
