Holiday Terminal Closures
Rail Operations
CN
Weather conditions deteriorated this weekend with heavy snowfall (40 inches) near Prince George bringing several trees down on the network. The disruption has resulted in rail car shortages in Prince Rupert. Further, local road closures in the area have proven challenging for crews trying to reach trains on the network. CN has advised that there are 13 trains on the network between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert. Crews with snow removal equipment are moving to clear the tracks between Prince George and Prince Rupert with the first Westbound loaded train scheduled to arrive at Prince Rupert at 8pm this evening. The goal is to continue flowing trains/rail cars at a pace that will permit PRR terminal to depart three import trains per day, beginning tomorrow.
