interesting that Ceres wants out - they are thought to be the better managed terminal, and stuff isnt always broken there. i suspect they see the container lines moving to larger ships, and as a result, lost work.
im not sure i buy that - there is plenty of work for both terminals, however the smaller vessels that call at halterm would need to shift to fairview. also the 9000+ teu vessels cant make montreal, so there could be a market for a feeder service.
CN runs 1 inbound and 1 outbound train from Rockingham yard daily. there are constant movements to shuffle cars from the yard to the terminals and back again. on the Dartmouth side cn runs a daily train from moncton and back, plus the gypsum train daily, as well as the regualar shuffling of autoracks to autoport.
