Line 83:
The border crossing at Emerson, Manitoba and Pembina, North Dakota is the fifth busiest along the [[Canada–United States border]], and the second-busiest west of the [[Great Lakes]]. It is part of a [[North American SuperCorridor Coalition|large trade corridor]] that links the [[Canadian prairies]] with the United States and [[Mexico]]. Annual cross-border trade is valued at over $14 billion [[Canadian dollar|CAD]]. The ports of entry on both sides are open 24 hours and offer full border services. An estimated one million people pass through the border crossing each year.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/tspd/current.html |title=Manitoba Government - Current Transportation Planning Studies |access-date=2017-08-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140325084459/http://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/tspd/current.html |archive-date=2014-03-25 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
For many years, Emerson was among very few communities in Canada to have multiple border crossings. It was serviced by the current port of entry, originally designated as West Lynne, and the now-closed [[Noyes–Emerson East Border Crossing|Emerson East port of entry opposite Noyes, Minnesota]]. In its original configuration, Highway 75 ended at the Emerson East crossing, the busier of the two crossings during the early and mid parts of the 20th century, where it continued south as [[U.S. Route 75]]. Travelers wishing to enter [[North Dakota]] turned south onto a short road
South of Emerson, the [[Canadian National Railway|Canadian National (CN)]] and [[Canadian Pacific Railway|Canadian Pacific (CP)]] Railways cross the border and are met, respectively, by the [[BNSF Railway]] and the [[Soo Line Railroad]] (CP's main U.S. subsidiary). There are customs inspection facilities for both lines on either side of the border.
