Abstract

The Alaska Canada Rail Link (ACRL) is part of an emerging North Pacific Rim Trade Corridor. The ACRL Phase 1 Feasibility Study considers a rail connection through Alaska, Yukon and Northern B. C., linking North Pacific Rim markets in the shortest trade corridor between North Asia and North America - via a U. S. port. In the broadest sense the scope of this project is set by the market, technical, environmental and financial assessment of a rail route for both resource exports to North Asia and intermodal imports to Mid-America. A rail link from Alaska to the rest of the North American rail system has been under consideration since the Alaska Railroad was started in 1914. Today, a renewed interest in resource deposits in Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia, as well as changing world markets, global trade dynamics and supply chains, has rekindled interest in that link. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E216511.
