No, not at all. Just to put things into perspective, just one province – Saskatchewan – is a large province in Western Canada. Here are some key facts about its size: Total Area: Saskatchewan has a total area of 651,036 square kilometers (or 251,366 square miles). Land vs. Water: Of this total, approximately 591,670 square kilometers is land, while the remaining 59,366 square kilometers is freshwater, consisting of numerous rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Ranking in Canada: Saskatchewan is the 7th largest province in Canada by total area.
In comparison to other places: To give a sense of scale, Saskatchewan is roughly the same size as the country of Afghanistan. It is also slightly smaller than the state of Texas. Don’t run out of petrol there!
While the focus of this post was aimed at rail in Saskatchewan, you’ll soon get a taste of what the great white north, really is. Sadly, much of it is also about decay and abandonment. You’ll have the chance to truly understand what happens when entire cities “up sticks” and migrate elsewhere. PS: the video is long, but certainly worthwhile if you have the time. So many other places face this kind of situation, worldwide.
