About The Railroad...
A feasibility study for such a rail line was previously initiated in August 2012, which included a group of six mining companies. The project was then suspended in March 2013. The market realities at the time resulted in delays in mine development projects located in and around the Labrador Trough. A review of the project indicated that mine construction schedules and diverging needs for each specific individual project made it difficult to obtain the critical volumes of iron ore necessary to support the building of new rail and terminal infrastructure. Concerns were also raised with respect to the technical challenges associated with the construction of the rail line over 800 kilometres of rough terrain.
