As per CN's three year plan, all of its operations in Ottawa will be discontinued. This means that Ottawa will be added to the ever-growing list of cities with absolutely no freight rail service. Costumers left behind from the closure include Rideau Bulk, SynAgri, Kott Lumber, Nylene Canada and Ivaco Rolling Mills.
Good news if you are a trucker, but otherwise, it is quite unfortunate.
