Both Hannah and Snowflake once were thriving small farm communities, and both rapidly declined in population when their respective railroads were abandoned.^[1][2] The BNSF rail line now terminates in Langdon, North Dakota and Hannah's population has declined from 253 in 1960 to 15 in 2010.^[3] The population of Snowflake is now 2.^{[citation needed]} Consequently, the volume of traffic that uses this border crossing has also declined. The average volume of traffic per calendar month is around 100 cars and fewer than ten trucks.^[4]

The Canada border station of Snowflake was slated to be replaced in 2017.^[5]
