Main line for the country’s largest rail operator, Canadian National Railway Co., runs through park
Canada’s largest railroad operator suspended operations in the Jasper area Wednesday afternoon as wildfires raged through the Alberta park and destroyed structures in the townsite.
Both the Port of Vancouver, Canada’s largest port, and the Prince Rupert Port Authority in Prince Rupert, B.C. were anticipating slowdowns due to the situation because Jasper is a key corridor for the movement of Canadian goods. The main line for the country’s largest rail operator, Canadian National Railway Co., runs through the park before it continues west to the export hubs and east to the rest of the country.
“We will continue to monitor the situation and work with our supply chain partners to ensure Canada’s trade can continue to move safely and efficiently,” Munro said in an email.
