Coming soon to a B.C. port near you: more container cargo in bigger ships.

Kleo Landucci, Managing Director of Ashcroft Terminal explains that history plays a part in the formation of the 320 acre, privately-owned inland terminal in the Thompson Okanagan region of British Columbia. “The town is located along the Thompson River and when the Canadian Pacific Railway arrived in the late 1800’s, Ashcroft became a transportation centre for goods and people travelling north to the goldfields. Canadian Pacific built on what it felt was the easier side of the river, and then CN came along a few years later, which built on the other side of the Thompson River, but encountered difficult terrain just south of what’s now Ashcroft Terminal, forcing it to build a bridge from the north to the south side, putting both railways on the same side.”
