As part of the Fire Lake North (FLN) iron ore project located in north-eastern Quebec, the proponent intends to construct a new 62 kilometre long single track railway line to connect to the existing Bloom Lake Railway (BLR) in Labrador West. A four kilometre rail line portion of this new line and a three kilometre long siding will be located within the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the remainder of the line and the load-out facilities will be located within the Province of Quebec.
