As of April 2016, the Nanaimo area is the last area that has active rail customers on the Island railway.
Other customers have either exited or switched to trans-loading as the condition of the track has deteriorated and the speed allowed has decreased, making service impractical.
These are not complete lists — If you know of other current customers or in the history of the E&N please contact me.
