The St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad (SLQ) operates
over 260 miles of contiguous mainline track between Portland, ME,
and Ste. Rosalie, Québec.
The SLQ crosses the international border at Norton, VT, and
interchanges with the Canadian National Railway (CN) at Ste.
Rosalie. We serve various warehouse distribution, intermodal, and
bulk transloading facilities throughout New England and the eastern
townships of Québec.
The SLQ provides a key transportation link through the northern New
England communities of Lewiston/Auburn, Mechanic Falls, and South
Paris, ME; Berlin and Groveton, NH; and Island Pond, VT. In Québec,
we deliver the same world-class service with the St. Lawrence &
Atlantic (Québec) to the surrounding townships of Coaticook,
Sherbrooke, Bromptonville, Windsor and Richmond. The St. Lawrence
and Atlantic (Québec) operates over 96 miles of track between the
U.S. border and Ste. Rosalie.
We have a dedicated management team based in Auburn and
Richmond, enabling the SLQ to provide personalized service to
customers systemwide and on both sides of the U.S./Canada border.
The 35-acre Maine Intermodal Terminal, part of the CN intermodal
network, allows us to offer the only northern New England
double-stack container service, complemented by domestic trailer
service to both local and intermodal customers.
Through our link with the CN, we serve five deepwater ports,
including Vancouver, BC; Montréal; Halifax, NS; New Orleans, LA;
and Mobile, AL. In addition, the SL&A connects to Pan Am
Railways (PAR) at Danville Junction, ME, providing direct rail
links to many of the paper mills in Maine and points south through
CSX Corporation (CSX) and Norfolk Southern (NS). We connect to the
New Hampshire & Vermont Railroad (NHVT) at Groveton, NH.
The SLQ carries a variety of commodities, including the three
key forest products of lumber, pulp, and paper. We also carry
industrial products. Our seamless cross-border service provides New
England with enhanced access to the international marketplace by
transporting goods to and from Asia, Canada, Europe, and even into
Mexico with our CN Alliance routings.
Whether your transportation needs are global or local, the
SL&A is committed to meeting and exceeding your expectations by
providing efficient transportation solutions for customers in the
United States, Canada, Mexico, and abroad.
