The White Fox Subdivision wayfreight from Prince Albert with 3 RS23's drops its train of grain loads at the south end of Nipawin yard before picking up empties to spot on return trip. The loads will eventually move south via Sheho and connection with the CP's north main. This was done rather than moving traffic via Prince Albert to avoid per axle running right charges on CN

Bienfait Coal Co.'s ex MILW EMD TR4a 5706 with 2 cars of coal fines used in making charcoal BBQ briquettes crosses the the CN Lampman Subdivision on its way to the CPR Yard.

Mine still serves the mine mouth Shand Power plant near Estevan but little moves by rail anymore from the once very busy Souris River coal fields around Estevan

3 former NAR SD38-2's lead the eastbound wayfreight from Elgin to Winnipeg via Morris past the north end of Pelican Lake. This line was built by the Northern Pacific in 1889, subsidized by the Manitoba Provincial Government to break the CPR's monopoly on interprovincial traffic allowing grain to move via Emerson-Noyes to Duluth-Superior harbours. In 1898 the line was sold to the fledging Canadian Northern.
Existing sections are the Emerson to Winnipeg and Winnipeg Portage Lines. The Line from Morris to Brandon and a branch to Hartney were abandoned from the 1970's with the last section from Elgin to Morris abandoned in the noughts
