Canadian National Railway Co. said it expects repair work to continue "at least into next week." The Vancouver Fraser Port authority said this week no rail traffic is currently able to flow between Vancouver and Kamloops, including on Canadian National Railway Co. lines. "Work will continue through the weekend and, barring any unforeseen issues, we currently estimate service will be restored midweek," CP spokeswoman Salem Woodrow said in an emailed statement. CN said it is working with customers and the Port of Prince Rupert to use available capacity.
