Private cars shippers represent an important part of CN's business.
We know that getting your products delivered on time is important to you. That's why we place a high priority on keeping our operating yards fluid so that train connections are on time.
Managing your private fleet to have the right number of cars at the right place at the right time is a shared goal that benefits you. So if your private car is not moving why not store it! By moving your private cars into storage until you need them, we can free up space in the operating yards and keep your other cars moving.
Your private car storage options:
- Re-assess the size of your fleet with the objective of reducing the fleet, which means fewer private cars requiring storage and lower car leasing costs. CN's Supply Chain Logistics team can provide assistance in this area – contact them today.
- Add infrastructure and in-plant track in your facility.
- Assign storage spots providing that there is available space on our tracks. Talk to your CN representative about exploring a formal private car storage solution on CN lines.
- Use our storage partners to benefit from flexible storage options. If you are the car owner, lessee (party responsible for the car), shipper or receiver, you can contact any one of our partners directly to arrange storage.
