Update: BC Wildfires Service Interruption

Below is an update on the wildfires in the Lytton, BC area.

Rail operations are currently suspended in BC wildfire areas. Both CN Rail and CP Rail main lines are again shutdown due to new wildfires that crossed both railways 6 miles east of Lytton BC.

The BC Wildfire Service has requested CP/CN temporarily suspend operations in the affected area. The fires are near mainline rail tracks.
For the safety of rail crews, trains between Kamloops and Lytton, BC are not running.

CN Rail

Port terminals in Vancouver remain congested and working at limited capacity due to rail/fire situation.

Delta Port outbound rail has temporarily ceased. Rail cargo dwell times will be above normal levels. Berth congestion continues to impact vessel operations and schedules. Ongoing delays to scheduled vessels arrivals are anticipated.
