delayed traffic moving southbound, from Canada. The outage
created delays that lasted until early this morning. No explanation was provided for the delays
but it has created a backlog with border traffic moving between the United
States and Canada.
This will negatively impact service on international shipments
being delivered from the Windsor, London, Toronto, Brockville and Montreal terminals.
