Owned and operated by MobilGrain, BGS is a 250 mile railroad located in the west central region of Saskatchewan.

A Quick Introduction

Big Sky Rail (BGS) runs north and south from Delisle to Beechy, and east and west from Macrorie area to Laporte. BGS has a running rights agreement with CN, allowing our crews and equipment to interchange directly into Saskatoon’s CN Chappell Yard and providing access to our affiliate railroad, Last Mountain Railway (LMR).

With our close proximity to Saskatoon, we offer convenient storage solutions for empty oil tanks, potash, coal, and other types of railcars. Located in the heart of Saskatchewan’s best agriculture farmland, BGS takes local grain from multiple third-party facilities to markets across the globe.

Parent Company

A global but Saskatchewan-founded company, AGT Foods has become one of the world’s largest suppliers of value-added pulses, staple foods, and food ingredients.

The group of companies called “Mobil Capital” was sold to AGT in 2015. This alliance has been a very positive experience and has enabled growth on many fronts.
