Dumpster Rental for Railways / Railroads
Manitoba has a number of short-line railways (SLRs). These include Boundary Trail Railway (runs between Morden to Manitou), the BNSF Manitoba (operating within Winnipeg), the Central Manitoba Railway (Winnipeg to Carman and East Selkirk), the Keewatin Railway (Cranberry Portage to Pukatawagan), the Lake Line Railroad (Beausejour to Molson and Selkirk to Gimli), the Prairie Dog Central Railway (Winnipeg to Warren), the Hudson Bay Railway (The Pas to Churchill with connections to Flin Flon and Thompson), and the Greater Winnipeg Water District (Winnipeg to Shoal Lake). This is in addition to the VIA Rail operation of three passenger trains in Manitoba. And then of course there are the Class 1 Railways, including CN and CP. Between them all, there are a variety of projects that occur over the decades that require relocation and removal of tracks, railcars, and appendages. In fact, at press (Oct 2024) the prospect of relocating railway yards and rail lines outside of Winnipeg may become a reality after discussion on the topic has been floated periodically since the 1960s. Most of the attention regarding relocation focuses on the 465-hectare property occupied by Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway in the center of Winnipeg.
As someone charged with a railway demolition, relocation, and removal of incurred junk/scrap you are seeking a “one-stop” service that can provide for the needs associated with such a large and demanding project. This is not the job for a small outfit that solely rents small bins to residential roofers. You require a commercial/industrial provider of dumpster rentals and more. You’ve arrived at the right station. Read ahead for a succinct breakdown of why Affordable Bins is the only solution to consider.
Why Choose Affordable Bins for Junk and Scrap Removal Related to Railway Relocation / Demolition in Southern Manitoba
Dumpsters to Handle Railway Scrap
During the’ “Golden Age” of railroads (early 20th century), tracks were constructed with wooden or cast iron rails, and wooden or stone sleepers. After this period, rails have almost universally been made from steel. Some old constructs remain, some have been upgraded accordingly, but whatever the case may be a railway/railroad relocation and/or demolition requires the use of large heavy-duty dumpsters. Affordable Bins has a fleet tailor-made to accommodate railways needs, including 15-cubic yard dumpsters and 20 cubic yard dumpsters in addition to tough-as-railroad-nails concrete dumpsters along with smaller options to account for other smaller takedowns. Our dumpsters can safely and securely handle metal (view more), wood (view more), electrical (view more), concrete and stone (view more), and everything else that may be needed for this heavy-duty project.
