Mar.19--CANADIAN National Railway (CN) aims to introduce intermodal services connecting the Port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia with Calgary and Edmonton, starting in June.
    Alberta is one of the fastest growing industrial and consumer based economies in North America and has a fast increasing need for efficient supply chains. To support Alberta's growing transportation requirements, CN is relocating its Calgary Intermodal Terminal to a new, larger 680-acre logistic park in Rocky View County, near the airport in Calgary. Construction is underway and the facility will open in January 2013.
    Said CN executive vice-president Jean-Jacques Ruest: "The C$200 million (US$201.3 million) new logistics park, along with new connectivity to both the Port of Prince Rupert and Vancouver, will provide Alberta fluid access to world markets for consumer goods and industrial materials, as well as two prime export routes for its forest products, plastics and agri-products. As for CN, it puts us in a lead position."
