Pedestrians and cars begin to cross the tracks on Essendene Avenue after waiting for one of the first empty BNSF coal trains to cross through Abbotsford. The trains are being re-rerouted through Abbotsford for the summer due to construction in Washington.
Trains rolling in downtown Traffic on Essendene Avenue in downtown Abbotsford was stopped for about eight minutes Monday, as an empty coal train – the first of many that will pass through Abbotsford this summer – rolled through. Due to construction in Washington, two or three trains per day, each more than two kilometres long, are making their way through Langley and Abbotsford on the lightly used Southern Railway of B.C. tracks. Representatives of both Southern Railway (SRY), which owns the former interurban tracks through eastern Langley and Abbotsford, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) confirmed talks between the two companies several weeks ago. A test run took place on Thursday, and full operations began Monday. An empty BNSF coal train entered the west end of the SRY line at about 10 a.m. Monday, and was in the United States before noon. “The plan in place will be for BNSF to reroute empty coal traffic from Roberts Bank through Abbotsford down to Sumas,” BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas said. He said the detour plan is expected to last for 65 days. “Safety is the number one priority,” he said. BNSF is upgrading tracks and replacing two bridges between the border and Burlington, Wash. The trains normally run south from Roberts Bank, through White Rock, and enter the United States at the Peace Arch border crossing. The trains are limited to a maximum of 24 km/h through downtown Abbotsford, and double that in rural areas, according to J. Singh Biln, SRY’s director of community relations. In an earlier interview, he said the trains should be able to clear Abbotsford’s railroad crossings within the federally mandated five-minute time limit. Currently, SRY runs one daily train on a return trip through downtown Abbotsford. BNSF has been hauling an increasing volume of coal from U.S. mines to Roberts Bank.
