What Type of Customer Are You?


Communicate with the CN team

When you call CN, the first question our team will ask you is:

Q: Carload or Intermodal?

A:  You're an intermodal customer if your business is not directly served by rail. That means, unless you have rail siding that a CN or shortline partner train can access, your goods can be shipped by intermodal.
