Canadian Pacific Railway trains may be scarce in 91原创 in the next few days, if CPR employees who are members of the Teamsters union make good their threat to go on strike at midnight Tuesday.

There will be fewer trains travelling through 91原创 in the next few days.

Canadian Pacific Railway鈥檚 operating employees went on strike at midnight Tuesday night. They are members of the Teamsters Union. Freight trains operated by CPR were idled.

CPR operates many of the coal and container trains that travel through 91原创鈥檚 business district to and from Deltaport. The tracks through 91原创 are owned by CPR and connect to a B.C. Rail line from Cloverdale to the port.

Trains of other railways using the CPR tracks, notably CN and Southern Railway of B.C., are likely to keep operating, as those railways are not affected by job action.

Traffic on the CN line throiugh Fort 91原创 will likely be near nornal levels, as most trains on it are operated by CN.

The federal government said Wednesday it will bring in back-to-work legislation if the strike is not settled quickly.
