Components and Operations
27
Milton Logistics Hub would facilitate transfer
of intermodal containers between trains and
short-haul trucks. It will:
• Meet intermodal demand in the fastest
growing area in Canada, the GTHA
• Generate new supply chain efficiencies
within Canada, Ontario and the GTHA
• Improve Canada’s access to key domestic
and trans-border markets
Project Purpose
28
Where in the GTHA
• In the western GTHA –where logistic facilities have been and are being located
• Between Bayview Junction and Doncaster Junction – to serve logistics community and limit congestion
• On CN’s existing mainline
29
Location Features
• Land adjacent to the mainline tracks
• Land parallel to the mainline tracks for a minimum of 10,000 ft
• Minimum 400 acre site
• Topography
• Flat terminal
• Suitable rail access
• Suitable access to 400-series highways
30
Evaluation CriteriaEngineering• Topography - extent of grading
• Utility crossings
Traffic• Road crossings
• Truck routes
Biophysical• Watercourses, wetlands and woodlots
• Environmentally sensitive and protected areas (e.g., Niagara Escarpment)
• Potential Species at Risk (SAR)
Socio-economic• Existing and future planned land use
• Archaeological and cultural heritage resources
31
• Adjacent and parallel to CN’s mainline
• Sufficient size, grade and configuration for safe and efficient operation
• Close to 400-series highways for truck-haul routes
• Region growing in demand for goods
• Near existing transportation and logistics infrastructure
• Minimize impacts on environmental features relative to other sites (ex. woodlands /
watercourses)
• Located on lands planned and designated for employment use
South MiltonSouth Milton suitable location
32
• Approach/departure too steep
• A maximum cut of approximately 50ft the width of the terminal to
accommodate a flat terminal and avoid impact at the 401
• Excavation – a minimum of $1.5 billion
• Approximately 30 million tonnes of excavated material
• More than triple the size of terminal footprint
• Adjustment to existing mainline over 8 km to achieve a safe grade
• Requires creation of multiple grade separations
• Location encroaches heavily on the Greenbelt

• Milton Logistics Hub is designed to operate as a mainline served terminal
• Hub operates within a network of intermodal terminals across the country
• Trains operate on a rigorous network schedule with set arrival/departure times
• Trains are scheduled to meet local customer demand – particularly critical with
retail customers (i.e., product going to storefronts)
• Train and pad operations are inter-related – train arrival/departure drives:
• Truck arrival/departure to the terminal
• Pad operations (railcar loading/unloading)

section of stakeholders
to get input on benefit
priorities
• Community
engagement to refine
priorities including
surveys, outreach at
Metrolinx station and
various community
events
59
Consideration of Community Input• CN has refined the Project and mitigation measures based on input (e.g. trucks)
• Move the truck access road to Britannia Road from Tremaine Road
• Align the truck entrance with proposed intersection of the collector road for the Boyne
Survey Secondary Plan and Britannia Road, to improve traffic safety and efficiency
• Include a 1.7 km access road/overpass on CN property to maintain queuing trucks off
local roads
• Include a grade separation on Lower Base Line to separate road traffic and train
operations
• Direct trucks under CN control to use Highway 407 whenever practical and feasible
• CN is committing to ongoing engagement including the establishment of a Community Working
Group
60
Summary
• Taking mitigation into account, the Project is not likely to result in any significant
adverse residual effects
• CN is committed to implementing a robust environmental management
framework, including proven effective mitigation measures, management plans
and follow-up programs
• Through this adaptive management process, CN will verify the predicted effects
and mitigation effectiveness
• CN is committed to ongoing dialogue with the Community, Aboriginal groups,
and various government agencies
