The Boundary Trail Railway Company is a shortline railway operating in Manitoba between Binney Corners and Morden. The railway was formed in the summer of 2009 to maintain rail service over a portion of the La Riviere subdivision that was being abandoned by Canadian Pacific Railway.
The railway received a $1 million grant from the federal government, a $615,000 forgivable loan from the province, and $400,000 from the Pembina regional municipality. They held their grand opening on June 30, 2009.
The railway started with a Brandt hi-rail truck but acquired ex-GTW 4652, a GP-9, in March 2012. Later they acquired ex-CP GP9 #8208.
