Intermodal to Saint John

At present, hapag appears to be offloading loaded containers for cp at SJ from ships inbound from Europe to allow better clearance for the ships as they continue on to Montreal
I’m not aware of any containers being loaded on to the hapag ships at SJ
I agree that it is an odd arrangement

How long does it take to go from SJ to Montreal? Will it eventually be better to offload all of the containers in SJ when they get finished with their expansion?

Internet calculator says it is about 1350nm for the sea route between SJ and Montreal. All the way around NB and NS and then the long haul down the st Lawrence River. Assuming about 20 knots, that’s 3 days

45 loaded wells WB last night, mostly single stacked containers.

34 loaded wells last night, 251 is now running as 223.

40 loaded wells on the 3/30 223.

Additional container traffic will be starting in the next few weeks, and will lead to another train pair on NBSR. They have trainees out now as well as on going recruitment. More power coming too.

Will CP also be running a second train? With today's PSR size trains, it would seem that it would need to be an awfully big increase in containers for CP to start running a second train, especially when considering that they will be losing significant manifest traffic in the not too distant future with the Pan Am sale.

CP is staffing up but at present will plan to run DPUs and prioritize traffic, whereas NBSR will run two daily road trains.

Noticed that they're advertising for conductors out of Newport again...

Last 21 cars of today's CP 132 were carrying new rail. No idea of the destination.

80 loaded wells on 223 this morning, as 132 didnt hit Greenville until after 11pm.

Looking at the Hapag-Lloyd route listing on their website, a ship docking on Thursday in Saint John will dock on the following Monday in Montreal.

39 loaded wells west last night, after some single digit counts in the last week.

41 more loaded wells last night.

63 loaded wells west last night, all but the last five were stacks, in addition to 70 mixed freight on 223.
