Please note that Hurricane Fiona is expected to approach parts of Atlantic Canada late Friday, September 23 into Saturday, September 24.

In preparation for the storm, CN will:

-Halt all local switching and mainline carload trains in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia from Friday, September 23 at 18:00 to Saturday, September 24 at 18:00

These plans are subject to change based on weather and track conditions, and we will continue to monitor and communicate additional information as it is made available. 

Please note that delays of 24-48 hours in and out of BC may be possible due to washout conditions requiring repairs to tracks. We will continue to provide updates as they become available.

As a result, delays are expected, but we will continue to monitor and provide updates as they become available.

Please note that for safety due to high winds The Confederation Bridge has been temporarily closed, with the anticipation to reopen to traffic later this evening. This will affect any pickups and deliveries requiring this route. We will continue to provide any updates once they become available.
