No, I mean one week, although it’s pushing the limits of what might be possible. Pickup from Kingston Sunday, drop off in Waterloo Wednesday night, pick up empty flat cars Thursday night, back to Kingston Sunday morning.
We’ve had times from “It’s been loaded in Kingston” to delivery here in just a few days.
Based on the travel times we’ve seen, two week turnaround is easy; if it takes that long it’s because that’s how they’re scheduling it, not because it can’t be done faster.
This. From what I have heard the local CN switcher only goes to Millhaven 3 days a week. If you miss one you're waiting a few days for the next one. The only solutions to this is either for Bombardier to beg for more switching service (which they are probably going to need anyways) or to time the loading of the LRVs to better align with the limited switching service.
