Sarnia rail terminal expansion complete

Cando Rail & Terminals has completed an expansion of its Sarnia terminal, boosting capacity to southern Ontario.

The expansion increased the space for railcars from 85 spots to approximately 550 spots.

"Cando Sarnia Terminal is located on approximately 90 acres in the Sarnia Chemical Valley region and is directly serviced by CN off the CN St. Clair industrial spur," the company said in a news release. "The multi-purpose terminal offers services seven days per week for railcar staging for short or long-term, loaded or empty railcars, as well as transloading numerous products to or from railcars. The terminal also has a two-track railcar repair shop and two-track railcar wash facility."

Cando purchased the terminal in the spring of 2021.

The Brandon, Manitoba-based company said it has grown from a small rail salvage company in 1978 to a leading international service provider of first and last mile rail service and terminal infrastructure.

Cando owns and operates 10 terminals and operates at more than 40 industrial railyards across North America.

A time lapse video of the expansion was posted by Cando to YouTube and can be viewed below.
