With the recent announcement that grain company Adroit Overseas had purchased the Shaunavon Elevator it was huge news for one Shaunavon company.

Andrew Glastetter is the General Manager of Great Western Railway. He talked about the benefits for Great Western Rail and local producers.

"We know they're going to grow  the business out of this area. So, growing their business means that we grow our business on our railway. And the focus is to serve the agriculture community of South Western Saskatchewan, so we can do that better by offering them more choice of being able to deliver their grains to the local rail head, rather than having to drive maybe half an hour or an hour away and spending a lot of time on the highways."

Glastetter adds that he feels Adroit Overseas will re-energize the local grain shipping network by rail around the Shaunavon area.
