G3 Canada Ltd. last week marked the grand opening of its new grain elevator in Glenlea, Manitoba, which will be served by CN.

The facility is the fourth high-efficiency elevator opened by G3 since August 2015, according to a company press release.

Construction on the Glenlea facility began in fall 2014. It features a 34-car loop track capable of loading a full unit train while in continuous motion, and a high-capacity drag under the driveway enabling farmers to unload a super-B in five minutes or less without moving, company officials said.

"G3 Glenlea is the latest addition to our network, and is providing local farmers with a new partner for their grain business," said G3 Chief Executive Officer Karl Gerrand.
