Vancouver-based Generating for Seven Generations, or G7G, is expecting to know whether it will get C$40 million in financing to study the feasibility of its plan to build a rail line from Alberta to Alaska to connect with the Valdez Marine Terminal, while a coalition of railroads and producers is scheduled to decide whether it will conduct an experimental shipment of 2 million barrels of crude this summer through the Hudson Bay port at Churchill, Manitoba, to either the North American Atlantic Seaboard or Europe.
G7G Director Matt Vickers said his company’s plan involves a 1,600-mile rail line from the Alberta oil sands to Delta Junction, Alaska, where it would feed into the Trans Alaska Pipeline System to Valdez.
The grand objective for the proponents is to eventually carry up to 5 million barrels per day on a twin-track system that would allow 12 trains per day to deliver crude to super tankers at Valdez, with each train of 240 cars carrying about 153,000 barrels.
