Mile 2.6 on Canadian National Railways (CN) Rivers Subdivision, Winnipeg to Melville, Saskatchewan
Mile 0.0 on Canadian National Railways (CN) Letellier Subdivision (to Emerson, Manitoba)

This junction is where the Great Northern Railway's line from St. Paul, MN to Winnipeg via Emerson (to the south) met the CN Railway's mainline between Winnipeg and the west coast (to the north and west). The line transferred hands at some point to become CN's Letellier sub, handling traffic bound for interchange with the BNSF at the US border.
