The 2008 projects : (updated march 24, 2008)
-
A complete yard reconfiguration. New garage lines will be added to facilitate marshalling, facilities will be added for diesel locomotive maintenance and tracks will be regrouped according to train routes.

This project involves replacement of all tracks, most of the switches along with motorization of those in the yard entrance and exit. Electrifiction will be revised to favor better locomotive operation

This yard reconstruction will merge harmoniously with the turntable and roudhouse projects realized during the years 2006 and 2007.
