CN is a leader in the North American rail industry providing shippers with more options and greater reach in the rapidly expanding market for north-south trade. The following highlights provide a quick snapshot of who we are and why CN is an industry leader:

• We operate we'll over 20,600 route miles of track in Canada and the United States.
• CN employs an average of 21,967 people across Canada and the U.S.

• CN invested nearly 20% of its revenues ($1.6B) in 2010 in capital expenditures including the maintenance of our rail infrastructure. CN spent close to $100 million on Information Technology in 2010.

• Our acquisition of GLT in 2004, BC Rail in 2005, principal rail lines of the EJ&E in 2008, as well as three principal railway subsidiaries of the QRC in 2009 provides shippers with more options and greater reach in the rapidly expanding north-south trade market.

• We're offering more integrated transportation services within North America, extending our model across the logistics chain to include warehousing & distribution, ground transportation and other services.
• Through a series of marketing alliances, interline agreements, co-production arrangements and routing protocols, CN customers have access to all three NAFTA nations.
• We've acquired short lines in Alberta to help oil sands operators meet growing demand for energy.
• Our investment in a large container facility in Prince Rupert (shortest distance to China) is positioned to support growth in traffic from abroad.
