Canadian National Railway Partners Quebec Port To Reduce Transit Times
Canadian National Railway Company (CN) has entered into a service agreement with The Port of Quebec to reduce transit times for shipments destined to Toronto to 38 hours from 53 hours.
Under the agreement, the port and terminal operator will release consistent times for shipments and CN will adjust schedules to expedite the movement of traffic over its network between Quebec City and Toronto.
The company claims that it will also explore opportunities to expedite shipment by rail of other commodities moving over the Port of Quebec, including metals and minerals concentrates.
Ross Gaudreault, president and CEO of Quebec Port Authority, said: “I am pleased with the cooperation among all port stakeholders and thank CN for its efforts to accelerate service from the Port of Quebec.
“Thanks to CN, the Toronto and the US Midwest markets are more accessible than ever before by rail for both the port and its partner terminal operators.”
