Canadian National Railway (CN) plans to relocate its operations from Jasper, Alberta, to Hinton, about 100 kilometers away, by September 2025. This move aims to enhance efficiency by reducing train stops between Edmonton and Blue River, British Columbia. Approximately 200 workers will be affected, but no layoffs are expected.
