Description

This is an artist's conception of the size and scale of embankment the rail line planned for the Baffinland Iron Mine in Nunavut would require. The line would be the most northerly in the world, and most of the 149 kilometer line will be built over permafrost, which presents unique stability problems

Purpose of use

Rail lines built over permafrost are rare. They require special adaptations to make sure the line doesn't sink into the permafrost during the brief Arctic summer.

Replaceable?

This rail line would be the most Northerly in the world. It will present unique construction and maintenance issues, so the embankments it will require will be unlike those used by other rail lines. This image illustrates the width of the embankment, unlike those of other rail lines. Free images of other embankments can not be used.
