Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. railroads Norfolk Southern ( NSC )

and BNSF Railway on Monday said all embargoes associated

with the potential Canadian work stoppage stand canceled and

affected rail traffic has resumed, putting an end to an

unprecedented service disruption in the movement of goods across

the border.

Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Kansas City ( CP )

previously issued embargoes on goods moving to the U.S.

as part of an orderly shutdown before a potential work stoppage.

The railroads also locked out more than 9,000 unionized

workers at midnight of August 22, triggering a simultaneous rail

stoppage.

The Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered a halt to work

stoppages on Saturday, issuing binding arbitration, while ruling

a continuation of existing contracts.

Both CN and CPKC have previously highlighted that it might

take several weeks for them to fully recover from this work

stoppage.

Freight forwarder C.H. Robinson's ( CHRW ) Canada VP Scott

Shannon in a statement to Reuters said, "We expect it to take up

to a week for each railroad to be fully reset and running

smoothly again. It will take much longer to catch up with

shipments that have gotten backlogged."
