Port of Belledune officials are worried about a clause that allows CN to abandon the rail line that runs through Campbellton, Dalhousie; Bathurst, and Miramichi if freight levels continue to decline.
However, they add that they are hopeful that new clients can be found to secure the rail lines long-term future.
The Port of Belledune relies on having access to that rail line to quickly move goods in and out of the port.
