A new rail-served warehouse is now open in Kincheloe, near Sault Ste. Marie, thanks to Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation – Michigan, CN recently announced in a LinkedIn post. “Northern Michigan businesses now have direct access to CN’s North American network. Welcome to our newest customer, Maple Transport Inc.,” CN said.
“A huge shoutout to our CN railroaders and supply chain partners who made this happen. This warehouse is a launchpad for powering business growth, creating jobs, and opening opportunities,” the Class I wrote in the post.
CPKC
On Sept. 12, CPKC welcomed nine new members into the Broken Wheel Club at a special awards dinner in Calgary. Since 2018, this recognition has gone to railroaders who spotted broken wheels on both on and off the job, preventing incidents before they happen.
The new members are Dana Rowe, Tyson Wasylik, Glenn Knights, Karl Sacdal, Roman Pochekva, Deep Mander, Ravi Sidhu, Damilola Kuku and Ty Gabel.
“We’re closing in on 100 unique individuals who have found a broken wheel in seven years,” said VP Mechanical Car Brad Robertson in a LinkedIn post. “That’s pretty outstanding!”
Thanks to their vigilance, CPKC says it has had zero broken wheel derailments since 2020.
