The CPR and <a href="/wiki/Canadian_National_Railway" title="Canadian National Railway">Canadian National Railways</a> (CNR) intersect in Portage; one of the few places in Canada where the two railways meet. This has made Portage la Prairie one of the most ideal places for <a href="/wiki/Railfan" title="Railfan">railway aficionados</a> to view trains; approximately 72 trains pass through the city each day. The Trans-Canada Highway, a major national transportation route, runs past the city and provides the community with business if highway travellers decide to make a trek into Portage. </p><p>The post-glacial flood plain surrounding Portage la Prairie is highly fertile, with rich, clay-loam soils abundant in nutrients. Portage la Prairie is therefore a major agricultural centre in Manitoba, and in Canada. The rural land surrounding the community is undoubtedly a breadbasket in North America, boasting some of the best soils on the continent for the production of a wide array of vegetables, berries, grains, and lentils. </p><p>The city has an aggressive tree-planting program and is known for its mature <a href="/wiki/Urban_forest" title="Urban forest">urban forest</a>.
