(2026-07-06) CN – Derailment Repentigny

Dear Valued Customer,

We would like to inform you of a service disruption that may impact freight shipments moving through the Montreal region.

A significant Canadian National (CN) train derailment involving approximately 45 railcars northeast of Montreal has temporarily blocked a critical rail corridor. As a result, track closures have created congestion and delays affecting rail and intermodal traffic moving into and out of the Montreal terminal.

What you need to know:

  • Scope: This disruption impacts all inbound and outbound freight moving through the Montreal logistics hub.

  •  Impact: You may experience minor transit delays as CN works to clear the bottleneck and reroute cargo.

  •  Monitoring: Our logistics team is monitoring the situation closely with CN and related carriers and will provide specific updates as new timelines emerge.

 We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this unexpected regional transit delay.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your client service representative.

 

Kind regards,

OMNITRANS INC
