In preparation for the storm, CN will:

-Halt all local switching and mainline carload trains in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia from Friday, September 23 at 18:00 to Saturday, September 24 at 18:00

These plans are subject to change based on weather and track conditions, and we will continue to monitor and communicate additional information as it is made available.
