Pad Availability
To assist the importer with planning their pick up CN will update its systems with an anticipated “pad availability” by noon the day before scheduled placement
This will enable an importer to arrange/comfirm their pick up with the importer

11. Rail 101 Points to Note: Scheduled placement is generally conservative
Designed to ensure availability by listed time
If no appointment is made prior to grounding the import will be moved off-site
To ensure import remains at Brampton do not wait until day of placement to make appointment
Appointment may be made when import dispays ETA
Reconfirm after pad availability is displayed
An alert will be sent to the registered address if pad availability precludes appointment from being fulfilled
Certain circumstances may prevent an import being available immediately at scheduled pad placement. To prevent a dead run:
Monitor actual pad availability when scheduling tight
Plan pick up for the free day
- 11 -

12. Rail 101
Considerations:
If CN has not provided a scheduled pad availability by noon the day before, the import will continue to have two free days
Storage clock will begin with the later of scheduled pad availability or actual availability
If an appointment cannot be fulfilled due to rescheduling/late pad placement the import will continue to have two free days

Storage:
Any party that will guarantee storage should be set up to do so on line
At the present time, storage may only be guaranteed once the container grounds
