Canadian National Railway Co has secured a deal to provide rail services to mining giant BHP for transporting potash from the Jansen mine in Saskatchewan to Vancouver ports for export. The initial contract will run for approximately four years and is focused on the Jansen Stage 1 production, with the railroad operator potentially involved in later phases. Canadian National Railway will operate unit trains using BHP-owned railcars between the mine and export terminals. BHP stated the arrangement strengthens its supply chain reliability and positions it well to deliver potash to global customers, while Canadian National Railway called the Jansen project a significant opportunity for Canada's export industry. The Jansen mine is expected to begin production in mid-2027.
