| Location | Update |
| NYC / NJ | NYC / NJ Port Rail Facility delays in moving containers from/to the NYC ports have improved. We are utilizing alternative routings where possible. |
| Midwest: Omaha + Saint Louis | 1) Omaha / Council Bluffs Rail - Flooding impact still continues to delay rail moves this week from Omaha /Council Bluffs to the East Coast ports. 2) Saint Louis to NYC (NS Rail) - NS is continuing to route cargo from Saint Louis to/from NYC through Kansas City, due to the Hannibal Subdivision (the normal routing) being closed due to flood damage. Delays of 8-12 hours in rail arrival at NYC from Saint Louis will continue this week as the Hannibal Subdivision remains closed due to extensive reconstruction. |
| Montreal - CAST Terminal | The CAST terminal has been experiencing labor issues and on-terminal congestion which has been impacting import rail departures / rail production. CN Rail continues to have railcars delayed for processing and is working with the terminal and port railroad to improve this situation. |
