Canadian National Railway to End Service in Hay River

CN Rail Accused of Bullying Tactics

Canadian National Railway (CN Rail) has initiated the process of ending its service from Enterprise to Hay River, Northwest Territories. CN Rail states that it plans to formally terminate its rail service from Enterprise to Hay River.

Reasons for Closure

CN Rail has been accused of bullying in its decision to shut down the rail line to Hay River. The rail line transports various fuels, which are then loaded onto barges and transported down the Mackenzie River.

• Owner of an Enterprise rail yard understands some of CN's reasons for closing the line north of his yard.
• CN Rail has not publicly released the specific reasons for its decision.

Impact on Hay River

The closure of the rail line will significantly impact Hay River, which relies heavily on the rail service for the transportation of essential goods and services. The closure will also affect the local economy, as many businesses rely on the rail line for the transportation of their products.

Call to Action

Residents and businesses in Hay River are calling on CN Rail to reconsider its decision and keep the rail line open. They argue that the closure will have a devastating impact on the community and the local economy.

The Government of the Northwest Territories has also expressed its disappointment with CN Rail's decision and is exploring options to keep the rail line open.
