The CP Russell subdivision ran from Binscarth to Inglis, Manitoba. This branch line was abandoned in 1996.
The following information is from the CP September 25, 1938 employee timetable.
| Mile | Station | Siding (cars) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0 | BINSCARTH Junction with CP Bredenbury subdivision | – |
| 5.2 | PENRITH | – |
| 11.0 | RUSSELL | – |
| 11.6 | Crossing of CN | – |
| 17.8 | CRACKNELL | – |
| 23.9 | INGLIS | 42 |
In 1938 the speed limit over the first 11.5 miles was 30 MPH.
The only recorded time that an SD40-2 locomotive went north of Russell was in 1979, when CP 5639 and a plow was sent to try to clear the snow (source: Clayton Chaloner). The employee timetable specifically prohibited classes DRF-30 (SD40-2) and DRF-36 (M-640) from operating between miles 23.1 and 23.9.
