The maximum speed for trains traveling between Valley City and Emrick, North Dakota will increase from 49 mph to 60 mph on September 20, 2017.

Emrick is in Wells County about five miles southeast of Fessenden. Communities included along the route are Rogers, Leal, Wimbledon, Courtenay, Kensal, Bordulac, Carrington and Cathay.
