We got intermodal numbers out of Saint John for July YTD. They have an increase of 17+% YTD over 2022(a record positive year itself). Credit to all parties (rail, trucking, shipping, management) for going against the industry trend at this point in time.

An encouraging report, Mr.K812.

Mr. NHV's reports of train car counts would lead me to believe that the Port is active and that rail gets their fair share of containers to handle.

Now what is of concern to me is when Chessie can represent to shippers and the maritime community that she has a viable routing (judging from the reports we have here from around Keag, she soon will), will she just be "snitching" away from CP's "base" or will more maritime companies realize that Saint John is competitive (with exceptions of Prince Rupert and Halifax, two roads making rates is the "standard") resulting in more vessels calling there - and more traffic for both roads.
