Canadian National Railway facilities in Peel Region
Canadian National Railway facilities in Peel Region consists of two specialized facilities:
Brampton Intermodal Terminal
Located at 76 Intermodal Drive, it is a major Intermodal terminal located between Airport Road and Goreway Drive in Brampton, Ontario and bound to the north by Highway 7 and Intermodal Drive to the south. The terminal is connected to MacMillan Yard to redirect intermodal freight cars.[1]
The terminal is located next to Canadian Tire's Distribution Centre with the company being a major intermodal client.
Malport Freight Yard
Malport Yard is a smaller yard located in Mississauga south of Steeles Avenue between Airport Road and Torbram Road. The yard services CN's own intermodal unit s(Railroader), as well perform local switcher or transfer cars to other trains. The yard is also connected with MacMillan Yard.[2]
Located next to Malport is the Jet Fuel Rail Offloading, Storage and Distribution Facility, which was built (2009-2010) to provide means for CN trains carrying jet fuel (from Quebec or Flat Rock, Michigan) to off load from the tanker cars to trucks that will head to Toronto Pearson International Airport.[3] This replaced the need for trucks to travel from MacMillan Yard to Pearson as was the case before this terminal was built.
