The Canadian Government has been working closely with CN and Canadian Pacific to coordinate the sharing of rail lines to transport essential supplies to communities in need, after protests caused severe interruptions to passenger and freight train traffic. The collaboration has allowed CN trains to circumvent blockades using alternate routes — some through the U.S. — to continue deliveries to Quebec and Maritime communities facing shortages of essential goods such as propane, chemicals for water treatment facilities and animal feed. While the collaboration will not take care of the freight backlog completely, but it will help.
