Intermodal to Saint John

I'm guessing Mr. Hastings goes by the handle CN9634 around here. All I know is that my screen name is same as on my Birth Certificate, Passport, Driver's License, and Will.

But be all that as it may, I'm pleased to learn that NB is not devoid of industry with product exported to the US.

Presumably Chessie is placing her bets that even with her Class 2 and jointed rail, as she gets the MEC up to Class 3, more "Fancy Feast" from these shippers will come her way.
When the day comes she can address the clearances, which I've learned from these discussions are also on the B&M as well, what Container traffic comes her way, will just be "gravy" atop her "FF".

Again, we're looking at a strike on the east and gulf coasts. I think this one has the potential to last a little longer than the last one. I also have reason to believe it should be over by Feb. 1.

"Beginning in February 2025, DP World will introduce several new container services at its terminals at the Port of Vancouver, Port of Prince Rupert and Port Saint John.

The agreement with the new Gemini Cooperation between Maersk A/S and Hapag-Lloyd AG will allow DP World to present additional options for cargo loading and discharge in Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Saint John. By leveraging its network of terminals across Canada, DP World can provide enhanced resilience in the event of disruption.

This collaboration will strengthen trade connections between Asia, Europe, and North America. Vancouver and Prince Rupert will handle key shipping services to and from Asia, while Saint John will manage services connecting to Northern Europe."
