Following extensive rainfall and flooding in Nova Scotia, the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) has preemptively closed a section of the main railway line near Halifax that was washed out, according to The Canadian Press.
“Over the weekend, our network in the area was impacted by washouts, flooding, and power outages. CN crews have already restored much of the damaged infrastructure, but some repairs will be delayed until the floodwaters recede,” CN Rail spokesman Scott Brown said in a statement.
