Canadian National Railway Co. is rolling out a new intermodal service tailored for forest products producers serving key markets in Ontario and western Canada.

The Class I will provide the service between the eastern Québec region, Toronto and western Canada, with daily service to Toronto; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta; and Vancouver, British Columbia. The service will appeal to shippers of heavy products that can load 60,000 pounds of freight into a 40-foot container, CN said.

"We believe there is strong interest in this intermodal option in the Québec City area and beyond," said CN Senior Vice President of Sales Stan Jablonski in a prepared statement. "The service will reduce wear and tear on long-distance truck fleets and extend the environmental benefits of rail to a new group of shippers."
