Looking for capacity in the U.S. Midwest? We have a new transload service for you!


Customers shipping to Western Canada out of the U.S. Midwest can now take advantage of additional capacity from a new transload service. Fast and flexible, our new Chicago Multimodal Service combines the advantages of road and rail for a complete end-to-end supply chain solution.

This new service offering includes pick up of palletized freight directly from your facility by 53ft road trailers for transport to CN’s new distribution facility in Bridgeview, IL. There the goods will be transloaded into CN-managed 40ft containers and shipped seamlessly by rail to Western Canada for final delivery.
