"It will load containers with products arriving at the facility by rail or truck. The loaded containers will then be lifted onto railway flatcars at CN's new adjacent intermodal rail yard, and daily service will be offered from this terminal to the Port of Prince Rupert."
The Opinion 250 website positioned the inland container Port to be at the First Avenue rail yard.
It's expected that the Prince George operation will be a central terminal for the Highway 16 and 5 corridors, loading empty containers bound for Asia with lumber, panels, wood pulp and paper, as well as ores, plastics and some metals products.
