‘Increased' Canadian military activity expected on Hwy. 401, QEW for training exercise
Canadian Armed Forces vehicles are seen in this undated image. (DND/CAF 2025) Drivers in Toronto and across Ontario will see 'increased' military activity on major highways in the area over the next two weekends as the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) gear up for a training exercise. In a news release, the CAF said 1,500 Canadian Army Reservists will take part in Exercise Stalwart Guardian, described as a 'major' end-of-summer training event featuring simulation combat operations, at Garrison Petawawa, northwest of Ottawa. As such, transport and supply convoys will hit the roads between Toronto, Peterborough, Sudbury, Ottawa, Petawawa and the surrounding areas on Aug. 15 and 16. 'Members of the public may see increased military traffic with Canadian Army vehicles operating on various area roads including Ontario Highways 7, 17, 26, 41, 55, 115, 401, 403, 407, 417 and the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW),' the CAF said. The troops and their equipment will travel in Department of National Defence vehicles and chartered buses. The convoys will make planned, short stops along the routes for rest, fuel, and scheduled maintenance. Soldiers will not be carrying weapons or ammunition while making public stops, the CAF noted. However, members of the public are asked to take 'extra caution' when approaching military vehicles. Similar military traffic is expected to return to the aforementioned routes on Aug. 23 and 24 following the conclusion of the exercise. The CAF said 'all measures' are being taken to minimize inconvenience on the highways during the exercise dates.

Marmon Rail Introduces ProTecht: Industry-First Mobile, Autonomous Tank Car Cleaning System
Article content CHICAGO — Marmon Rail is introducing ProTecht, a proprietary mobile cleaning system that revolutionizes tank car maintenance with safer, more sustainable, and highly efficient on-site cleaning. As the rail industry's first mobile, autonomous tank car cleaning system, ProTecht is now available across the U.S. and Canada. Article content Operated by Marmon Rail brands UTLX (United States) and Procor (Canada), ProTecht represents a major technological breakthrough in tank car cleaning. Article content Article content Tank car cleaning is one of the rail industry's most hazardous and time-intensive operations. Whether for repairs or change of service, every tank car must be cleaned — a process that traditionally requires human entry into confined spaces containing hazardous residues. This manual approach is one of the most dangerous aspects of tank car maintenance. Article content 'Seeing firsthand the risks of traditional cleaning methods inspired me to develop a safer alternative,' said Evan Ingram, Operations Manager at Marmon Rail. 'Our mobile, autonomous system eliminates the need for operators to enter hazardous environments.' Ingram, the inventor of ProTecht, spent four years developing, testing, and patenting this groundbreaking technology. Article content The patent-pending ProTecht system is compatible with all tank car types, regardless of ownership or manufacturer. Designed specifically for industrial railyard environments, ProTecht eliminates the need for confined space entry and features three specialized cleaning modes tailored to the commodity being handled: Article content 'If it ships in a tank car, ProTecht can clean it,' said Jay McGill, President Repair Services, On-Site & Mobile. 'Marmon Rail has long been the industry leader in railcar repair and maintenance. ProTecht builds on that legacy with a cutting-edge system that is safe, sustainable, versatile, and purpose-built for on-site deployment.' Article content ProTecht's closed-loop system filters and reuses both water and detergent, significantly reducing waste, extending operational uptime, and minimizing environmental impact. By eliminating the need for costly freight moves and out-of-service delays, ProTecht helps fleet owners accelerate turnaround and improve asset utilization. Article content 'ProTecht is a major leap forward in modernizing tank car cleaning for today's rail industry,' McGill added.
