In all, there are 7 different body variations to make each model unique and prototypically accurate. 2017 will see the release of our next run of these meticulously designed and manufactured model railcars. Once again, we at North American Railcar Corporation, will push the industry standards to the extreme, as we proudly introduce versions 6 and 7.

(Copies of our model will be given as a gift to those attending the grand opening of the Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT) new potash handling and storage facility at PCT’s bulk handling facility located in Port Moody near Vancouver, British Columbia Project)

K+S Potash Canada (KSPC) has partnered with Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT) for the port initiative. In spring of 2014, PCT and KSPC signed an exclusive, long-term agreement that called for the construction of a new potash handling and storage facility at PCT’s bulk handling facility located in Port Moody near Vancouver, British Columbia. Potash products arriving by rail from the Legacy mine will be stored on site and transported to vessels destined for K+S Group’s international clients. Construction for the modifications of this facility are currently underway.

To ensure a rail connection, KSPC partnered with Canadian Pacific (CP). Potash bound for port will transported by CP from the Legacy Project mine site. CP is currently in the process of constructing a 30 km Belle Plaine Spur line linking the Legacy site to existing CP track near Belle Plaine. KSPC will construct a 14 km line that links this spur to a loop at the potash mine’s loading facilities and will build about 6 km of storage track adjacent to its line.
