CN is encouraging communities to submit input for corridor risk assessments along rail routes carrying significant amounts of dangerous goods.
CN performs specific risk assessments on railway lines carrying substantial amounts of dangerous goods, known as key routes, looking at factors such as population and emergency response capabilities. Under new Transport Canada regulations, CN will incorporate input from Canadian municipalities along these key routes as part of those risk assessments.
“Nothing is more important at CN than safety, and we recognize that safety is also of the utmost importance to communities we serve. We believe rail safety is a shared responsibility and look forward to continuing our ongoing partnerships with communities as we advance rail safety,” said Sam Berrada, vice president of safety and sustainability at CN.
