Can you identify this shipping port that is part of the Canadian National Railroad?

Here is a link to an article that has a picture of it:

(I am not so much interested in the investment article...)

I have checked the east coast and west coast segments of the interactive map in the below link by getting a general location and town, then zooming in on Google Maps for better resolution. No luck so far but I could be missing something....

I want to find out what port that is and get a bigger perspective of the area. That might give me some ideas on how to model it, if possible.
 
I looked at another article about CN terminals, and found some info about a port in BC. Looks like it's this one:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/D...c86574262057f!8m2!3d54.2852736!4d-130.3580269

It has the exact same road markings going off over the rails on the east side, the cranes are right, and it has the same brown ramp coming off the north end. If it's not the same one, it's a twin.

There's also another picture of the port from the opposite end looking north in that article. You can look at it here: http://www.globaltrademag.com/global-logistics/ocean-ports/speed-to-market

And a closer view here: http://www.porteconomics.eu/2016/04/01/canada-port-performance-measures/

Yep. Thats it. Thanks! I wasn't looking in the right place. That may have to be the subject of a future layout, though. I don't think I can pull that one off with the space I have. I may be able to squeeze in just the yard on my table space, let alone a loop somewhere. Neat idea, though. That is a really cool area with the geography.
 
If you select "View Photo" on the news article, it is captioned "port_of_prince_rupert_large," so I would suspect you are correct.
