Officers of the Canadian National Railways prepared for heavy wartime tasks shipping millions of tons of war materiel to the United Nations via Halifax. The system expanded to handle 52-car moves, built 350-car yards, lighters, and timber piers, while housing for 2000 workers supported transfers to lighters. In 1942 Halifax munitions depots dispatched vast supplies with no delays during six years of war, as convoys of up to 125 ships loaded from lighters.
