Rail is the environmentally friendly transportation choice

Wood pellets are helping the world shift to a greener energy supply.  It makes sense to ship them using a greener transportation mode.  Did you know that:

• Rail emits six times less greenhouse gases than heavy trucks.
• CN can move one tonne of freight 197 kilometres on just one litre of fuel.
