Canadian National business train spotted in Kitimat
A Canadian National (CN) business train was spotted in Kitimat on Sept. 10, drawing attention to the Northwest rail corridor during a period of significant industrial activity and freight investment in the region.
CN has declined to disclose the specific purpose of the visit or the identities of those aboard. The company stated that it maintains a fleet of business cars for various purposes, including meetings, business, and marketing activities across its network, and that their presence is part of normal operations.
The train, which features passenger-style cars with names such as Sherbrooke, Fleuve St-Laurent, and Caritas, is distinct from the freight equipment typically seen in the area. The visit occurs amid ongoing focus on potential LNG expansion and activity at Rio Tinto’s BC Works smelter.
