CN's Rail Service: Economical and Green
CN rail is the right choice to get the most from your transportation budget.
Did you know that you can fit three truckloads into one railcar? This means cost-savings for you any way you look at. This also means that for the long-haul, rail is the most economical, efficient and environmentally friendly transportation choice.
Still not convinced? With today's congested highways and rising fuel costs; our precision railroading model provides consistent, reliable service where shipments arrive on time over 90% of the time. What's more our precision railroading model is a key factor in reducing our carbon footprint.
