This could apply to possible new container traffic for CPR. A short news
summary today, was made with the announcement that CP Ship's South Pacific operating subsidiary Australian New Zealand Direct Line will commence container service in and out of Seattle, Wash. So far no mention of calls at Vancouver, B.C. ANZDL Line serves Australia-New Zealand-and other South Pacific islands enroute to Long Beach(Los Angeles) San Francisco/Oakland Calif. A subsidiary Union Direct Line from Australia-New Zealand services a good number of South Pacific Islands also. ANZDL if it omits Vancouver in favour of Seattle-what routing will the container traffic take-possibly Union Pacific east to Spokane then north to Kingsgate on BC. then CPR via Lethbridge-Medicine Hat, then CP main line across Canada. U.S. destined traffic would travel east to Moose Jaw-North Portal and Soo route through to Chicago with traffic to the U.S. Northeast on CP's Delaware & Hudson. This is a guess. Another route BNSF Seattle-Vancouver and CPR eastbound. News right now regarding the announcement on ANZDL a little sketchy. Checking ANZDL web-site their news has not been updated for the past few days. Don Scott-Coquitlam, B.C. |
