The evolution of Canada's grain transportation system from the 23. 3-tonne shipment in 1876 to today's 28-million-tonne movement is a story tied directly to the development of Canada's railways. As soon as rail lines began to cross the Prairies, settlers poured into Western Canada to farm the vast prairie land construct primary elevators, build towns and begin to feed the people of the world. 1, record 5, English, - Canada%27s%20grain%20transportation%20system

L'évolution du système canadien de transport des céréales, des 23,3 tonnes de 1876 aux 28 millions de tonnes d'aujourd'hui, est directement liée au développement des chemins de fer du Canada. Dès que les lignes ferroviaires ouvrirent l'accès aux Prairies, les colons y affluèrent pour en cultiver les vastes étendues, construire des silos de collecte, fonder des villes et commencer à nourrir les peuples de la terre. 1, record 5, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20canadien%20de%20transport%20de%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9ales

Overtime operations will be permissible on Saturday and Sunday nights(from 5. 00 p. to 11. 00 pm). This overtime will be normally worked for the purposes of loading vessels, in preparation for shipping, or for shipping related activities(e. g. inspection of grain or retreatment of grain). The working of overtime for non-shipping purposes during these periods will be kept to a minimum. In circumstances where the loading of a vessel is near completion, the workforce agrees to work beyond 11. 00 pm for a period not exceeding 2 hours to complete the loading of the vessel. In certain emergency situations, such as the turning of grain required for immediate shipment, or the repair of equipment which has broken down, the workforce agrees to work beyond 11. 00 pm until the emergency is rectified. 2, record 6, English, - turning%20of%20grain

L'air de ventilation passe plus facilement près des parois que dans l'axe central de la cellule. Dans cette zone, le grain est en effet plus tassé, plus chargé en poussière fine et la hauteur y est plus importante du fait du "talus naturel". Pour remédier à ce défaut, il faut éliminer la colonne centrale de grain en effectuant un transilage. Le grain peut être remis dans la cellule ou mieux, introduit dans une autre. Si cette solution n'est pas envisageable, il faut adapter des éparpilleurs aux tuyaux de descente afin d'atténuer quelque peu ce défaut. 3, record 6, French, - transilage%20du%20grain

A typical primary elevator contains about 18 storage bins, a receiving scale, a pit beneath the scale and a mechanism known as a leg. The leg lifts the grain from the pit to the top of the elevator where it can flow by gravity into any one of the storage bins. The elevators are designed to receive grain from producers’ farm trucks, store the grain in bulk lots in separate bins according to kind and grade of grain, and transfer it quickly and efficiently into rail cars for shipment to domestic processing plants and export ports. 1, record 7, English, - kind%20of%20grain

Des consultations menées auprès de l'industrie ont permis de déterminer que le consensus général est en faveur du stockage du grain sur le sol. Dans la majorité des cas, la CCG exemptera donc les installations de la clause interdisant le stockage du grain sur le sol à condition qu'une demande écrite d'exception soit présentée à la CCG. Cette demande devra préciser le type de grain qui sera stocké sur le sol ainsi que la date de réception de ce grain. Sur réception du grain, l'installation doit émettre un récépissé, un accusé de réception ou un bon de paiement et elle a les mêmes responsabilités à l'égard du grain stocké sur le sol que du grain entreposé dans le bâtiment de l'installation. 1, record 7, French, - type%20de%20grain
