Canadian National Railway Co. is investing $10 million to expand the container-handling capacity of its Toronto-area intermodal terminal by 25 percent. Last year, the Brampton Intermodal Terminal (BIT) handled 660,000 units.
The Class I plans to create additional pad capacity for loading and unloading intermodal trains, and improve truck throughput. The project is scheduled to be complete by late summer.
“Intermodal is CN’s fastest-growing business segment,” said James Foote, CN executive vice president of sales and marketing, in a prepared statement. “Our investments in new terminal capacity at BIT will allow CN to capture more of this business and [provide] more timely availability of loads at the terminal.”
Last year, CN installed radio frequency identification tags on BIT’s 2,000-unit chassis pool, which has helped reduce equipment cycle times at the terminal.
