Customer Advisory: CN Rail Service Disruption in Northwestern Ontario

–UPDATE: July 23, 9:00 am —

CPKC and CN have restored rail service through the Boston Bar, BC corridor, allowing inbound and outbound traffic to resume moving to and from Vancouver.

While service has resumed, trains continue to operate through the area under operational restrictions following the recent wildfire-related line outage. As a result, delays are expected to continue through the remainder of the week as the network recovers.

To help set expectations, Bison Intermodal recommends planning for up to two (2) additional days of transit time on shipments ingated within the next 72 hours while network velocity returns to normal.
