The rail yard is used for offloading and onloading trains onto a ferry which makes the 2½ hour crossing of the St.Lawrence River to a mailine in Matane,Qc.Canada. This connects Baie-Comeau to the rest of the North American continent. Trains into this railyard come from three locations. A newsprint mill, an aluminum plant (both within a mile) and a general holding area (3 miles away) where lumber and general rail cargo can be trucked in and loaded onto the railcars. The ferry crosses once or twice daily depending on traffic. Both the train and the ferry are operated by CN. (Canadian National Railways)
Le cour de triage est utilisé pour le chargement et le déchargement des trains sur un bateau qui fait la traversée de 2½ heures sur le fleuve St.Laurent à une ligne principale à Matane, Qc.Canada. Ceci relie Baie-Comeau au reste du continent nord-américain. Les trains dans ce cour de triage proviennent de trois endroits. Un de l'usine de papier journal, un de l'usine d'aluminium et un autre cour de triage où le bois d'oeuvre bois et du fret ferroviaire en général peuvent être chargés sur les wagons. Le bateau traverse une fois ou deux fois par jour en fonction de la demande. Le train et le traversier sont exploités par le CN. (Chemins de fer nationaux du Canada)
