CAROL AUTOMATIC RAILWAY DOUBLES ITS CAPACITY

Completion of double-tracking coupled with improvements to catenary and signaling have almost doubled the capacity of the Carol Lake automatic railway in Labrador. There is now enough rolling stock for seven 20-wagon trains to be in circulation on the 10 km line simultaneously, raising the daily capacity from 85,000 long tons of crude iron ore to 140,000 tons.
