May 22 2020 - 11:15AM
CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) announced today that, in collaboration
with the Halifax Port Authority, stakeholders, ocean carriers, and
customers, it will now offer integrated solutions through its
Moncton yard aimed at reducing short-haul trucking in Halifax.
“This intermodal service will play a key role in
overall integrated solutions that drive value and support growth in
the Atlantic region,” said JJ Ruest, president and chief
executive officer at CN. “We are pleased to be moving forward with
this initiative that will benefit all of our partners and
customers.”
“The CN Intermodal Ramp in Moncton continues to
have a positive impact on truck traffic as containers are loaded
and unloaded onto rail at that point as opposed to being trucked to
and from Halifax,” explained Captain Allan Gray, president and
Chief executive officer, Halifax Port Authority. “Expanding the
existing CN Intermodal Ramp in Moncton is showing positive results
during this initial development phase, and we will continue working
with CN, terminal operators and ocean carriers to find new ways of
developing a more sustainable supply chain.”
CN is a true backbone of the economy,
transporting more than C$250 billion worth of goods annually for a
wide range of business sectors, ranging from resource products to
manufactured products to consumer goods, across a rail network of
approximately 20,000 route miles spanning Canada and mid-America.
CN – Canadian National Railway Company, along with its operating
railway subsidiaries – serves the cities and ports of Vancouver and
Prince Rupert, B.C., Montreal, Halifax, New Orleans, and Mobile,
Ala., and the metropolitan areas of Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg,
