The Services Provided by CN

Rail

They Connect the Dots. They got their start in rail close to 100 years ago. Since then, CN evolved into a world-class transportation leader and the only transcontinental railway in North America.

Their 20,000-mile network spans Canada and Mid-America, connecting three coasts : the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico.

Their supply chain partnerships carry customer cargo all the way to Mexico City. Wherever you find CN trains, you’ll find a host of service options to help you ship more;

faster, further and more cost-effectively.

Intermodal

One Container, Three Different Modes of Transportation. Intermodal means versatility; anticipating that extra mile and adapting to it.

The intermodal journey harnesses the global reach of vessels, the speed and efficiency of trains and the locality of trucking.

They help you reach farther. Shipping by rail is four times more fuel-efficient than trucking alone. Their Intermodal Container Services help shippers expand their door-to-door market reach with 23 strategically-placed intermodal terminals.

Every link in the supply chain pulls together.

Trucking

The Best of Both Worlds. CN pairs the efficiency of rail with the added flexibility of trucking to better serve their local and regional customers.

They accomplish this with solid trucking partners, working together every step of the way as one team - CNTL. One of Canada’s largest full-load trucking companies CNTL has more than 1,050 owner operators, plus a fleet of 8,000 chassis and 8,000 containers.

Quick, Efficient, Cohesive. They deliver more than 1,300 loads a day, safely and on time; with a 90% on-time delivery track record.

Their Speed Gate system reduces in-gate and out-gate times, giving recognized trucking partners quick access to CN’s strategically located Intermodal Terminals.

Supply Chain Services

A True Supply Chain Enabler. As a key member of their customers’ supply chain, they recognize that when they grow, CN grows.

So, they work hard with their supply chain partners to innovate, create and implement solutions that seek to drive sustainable, long-term growth for their customers.

They put in place ground-breaking Service Level Agreements to encourage a transparent and highly cooperative partnership environment.

These agreements allow them to put the collective experience of their managers in rail, trucking, warehousing, distribution and supply chain management to work for you and improve the competitiveness of your business.

Extensive Capabilities. Their vast expertise in supply chain allows them to offer comprehensive services across a wide range of industries and product types.

Business Development

Want to Expand or Build a Rail-Served Industrial Site? CN’s Business Development team is here to help. They have a stellar track record, having worked with hundreds of companies to expand existing properties or develop new industrial projects using our Certified Rail Ready Site program.

They work with you by identifying sites, collaborating through the design and construction phases, and coordinating with our extensive network of partners to get the job done.

Maps and Networks

CN’s network is your connection to North America and the world.
