Rail 101

• Pad Availability
• To assist the importer with planning their pick
  up CN will update its systems with an anticipated
  pad availability by noon the day before
  scheduled placement
• This will enable an importer to arrange/comfirm
  their pick up with the importer

Rail 101

• Points to Note
• Scheduled placement is generally conservative
• Designed to ensure availability by listed time
• If no appointment is made prior to grounding the
  import will be moved off-site
• To ensure import remains at Brampton do not wait
  until day of placement to make appointment
• Appointment may be made when import dispays ETA
• Reconfirm after pad availability is displayed
• An alert will be sent to the registered email
  address if pad availability precludes appointment
  from being fulfilled
• Certain circumstances may prevent an import being
  available immediately at scheduled pad placement.
  To prevent a dead run
• Monitor actual pad availability when scheduling
  tight
• Plan pick up for the free day

Rail 101

• Considerations
• If CN has not provided a scheduled pad
  availability by noon the day before, the import
  will continue to have two free days
• Storage clock will begin with the later of
  scheduled pad availability or actual availability
• If an appointment cannot be fulfilled due to
  rescheduling/late pad placement the import will
  continue to have two free days

Rail 101

• Storage
• Any party that will guarantee storage should be
  set up to do so on line
• At the present time, storage may only be
  guaranteed once the container grounds
