The PSA Fairview Cove container terminal has changed appearance lately. There seem to be many fewer containers stacked along the railway sidings. Maybe this is related to some railbed renewals and paving that is going on, or maybe making space in case there is a rail strike.
The union representing engineers, conductors and staff at CN Rail and CPKC Rail are eligible to strike May 22 although some negotiations may still be goimg on.
If there is a strike, ships will still be unloading here in hopes that the strike would be short-lived. Terminals would soon fill up, so removing empties would be a good idea. Re-routing to US ports or trucking are costly options for incoming boxes, and would only be considered for urgent cargo or in case of a lengthy work stoppage.
