Railway Right-of-Way

In May of 2003, Canadian National Railways closed their CN Real Estate Office located at 1234 Main Street, Moncton, New Brunswick. All of the railway plans and deeds have been physically moved to A Bound Corporation, located in Miramichi, New Brunswick.

The CN real estate files contain all original conveyances with local registry office particulars, as well as plans with right of way boundaries for all Maritime railway lines. Many professionals use these files to save abstracting time or resolve abstracting problems in the registry offices.
