    CANADIAN RAILWAY OBSERVATIONS Updated Version 04/15/07 _______________________________________________________ By William Baird MAY 2007 CANADIAN NATIONAL CN Locomotives Retired in March and April: IC SW14 1507 on March 20th, DMIR SD38-2 209, on March 26th. CN C44-9W 2540 on March 29th, WC GP40 3005 on April 3rd. DMIR SD40-3 418 on April 10th (Note: This is not an SD40T-3, as there were two ex-CSXT units included in this rebuild with the Tunnel Motors). CN SD50F 5439 was released from NRE-Dixmoor in March 2007. This unit has received a Tier II zero emissions compliant engine, and new yellow frame striping. Photo - Ken Lanovich http://csxchicago.gotdns.com:6003/CN_Trains/SmallPicsRoll57/0024025-R1-059-28.jpg In late March, CN GMD-1 1436 was placed in the storage lines at the Woodcrest shop. 1436 arrived on March 19th from Toronto, with fire damage. This unit joins CN GMD-1’s 1414 and 1443 which have been in storage at Woodcrest for almost two years. When 1414 and 1443 first arrived they were to have truck change outs. Both units have had their trucks removed, but have never been replaced. Over the last year they have had quite a few parts removed, so it is unlikely that these two will ever run again. CN GMD-1 1436 appears to have suffered a main generator fire. Safety conscious CN has modified CN SD70M-2 8020 at MacMillan Yard shop on 3- 27-2007 with new bright CN orange steps / grab irons on the rear of the raised walkway behind the cab.

  • In Sub-Section 6.5.5.2 of the Environmental Impact Statemen
    August 31, 2017 IR2.1 Consideration of non-federal laws Rationale: In sub-section 6.5.5.2 of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) stated that certain provincial laws have been taken into consideration where appropriate to ensure completeness. While CN referenced some non- federal laws in various sections of the EIS, it is not clear which laws CN is referring to in sub-section 6.5.5.2, and what is meant by the phrases “taken into consideration” and “to ensure completeness”. Information Request: a) Provide a table summarizing all federal, provincial and municipal (regional and town) laws and by-laws that CN has taken into consideration in the planning for the Milton Logistics Hub Project (the Project) and development of its EIS and explain what is meant by “taken into consideration” and “to ensure completeness”. The table must include a description of which laws apply to the Project and which have been “considered to ensure completeness”. Specify how these have been considered in the environmental assessment; for example, whether the laws informed project design, selected mitigation measures, the criteria used to determine the significance of the Project’s effects, methodological approaches used by CN or other relevant matters. CN Response: Clarification of Statement in the EIS EIS Section 6.5.5 as well as the Socio-Economic Baseline TDR, EIS Appendix E.12 describes land and resource use activities, the provincial and municipal planning framework, and key documents in order to provide context for the assessment of potential effects on socio- economic conditions.
