Arctic Gateway says the Canadian National Railway strike will restrict and/or stop rail cars on CN lines.

In a service notice, the railway explained the strike on CN lines will inhibit the supply of cars delivered to Hudson Bay Railway during the strike and vice versa.

Arctic Gateway adds that to their understanding, this strike will only affect freight services, and passenger services should remain the same.

CN workers went on strike midnight yesterday after they failed to reach a deal with the company.

Talks between CN and the union representing the rail workers are ongoing.
