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 email 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 -

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 - 12 -
