The Boundary Trail Railway Company (reporting mark BTR) is a Canadian short line railway company operating in southern Manitoba. In 2009, the railway purchased 37 kilometres (23 mi) of operational railway linking Morden, Manitoba to the Binney Siding (4 kilometres [2.5 mi] northwest of Manitou), as well as 89 kilometres (55 mi) of abandoned railway from Binney Siding to the Pembina Valley, and on to Holmfield (east of Killarney).[1][2] Since March 2016, it has also operated with trackage rights on Canadian Pacific Railway's La Riviere sub between Morden and Rosenfeld.[3]
The railway was formed through the investment of CAD$1.25 million by a consortium of about 80 area farmers, the rural municipality of Pembina, Mission Terminal and the provincial government.[4] Originally focused on the transport of wheat, the railway was also in discussion with Quaker Oats to transport oats.[5]
In 2010, after its first year of operation, the railway received the Capturing Opportunities Economic Development Innovation award.[6]
The railway interlines with Canadian Pacific Railway at Rosenfeld in the Municipality of Rhineland.[3]
