CN took on over 10 track twinning projects for 2018 and Broda successfully completed 2 of them. The Spruce Grove Project was the most technically challenging out of all CN’s projects that year – it was the longest twinning, traversed sections of extreme terrain, and went through the middle of two cities and a very influential county.
