CN: technology helps to regain network capacity


Canadian National Railways (CN) supports the government’s decision to amend the ministerial order that restricted the speed of trains carrying dangerous goods on all parts of the railway networks in Canada, thus reducing at least a third of CN’s overall network capacity for all trains.

 

The revised order now takes into account the substantial investments made to equip mainline tracks with automated signalling technology. This will help the company to recover more efficiently from the illegal blockades, CN said.

 

The carrier was forced to shut down significant parts of its network after protesters had set up blockades to demonstrate against the construction of a natural gas pipeline through northern British Columbia. (ben)
