cn solutions

oil, grain, vehicles, fertilizer, metals, minerals, food and beverage,
forest products, consumer goods
and "pretty much anything that
needs to be shipped from point A
to point B in North America and
outside North America from various ports," Harridine says.
In addition to train cargo, the
company also has trucking operations and operates 23 intermodal terminals.
But for transporting goods a
long distance, trains are the most
cost efficient method. "A single
freight train replaces 300 trucks,"
Harridine says. "It is obviously going to cost you a lot more to transport a container on the back of a

truck and hundreds of containers
go on a train. If items are imported
from Asia through the west coast
of Canada, a lot of those are going
to the American Midwest, at least
2,000 miles. Train is really the only
economical way to move goods
into the American Midwest."
More than 50 percent of CN's
traffic is related to shipping goods
to and from the United States,
with 35 percent crossing the
border, 15 percent purely in the
United States and 4 percent leaving the southern United States.

Competitive advantages
CN ranks second among North
American freight rail companies

in terms of market capitalization,
Harridine says, and has a number
of advantages over its competitors.
First, CN is the only rail network
that touches three coasts including Prince Rupert and Vancouver
in western Canada, Halifax on the
east Canadian coast and the Gulf
of Mexico.
The second advantage is capabilities. "We handle every type
of product that needs shipping
and have the equipment and
infrastructure to move anything,"
Harridine says.
CN's third advantage is the ability
of CN trains to go around rather
than through Chicago. Yes, Chicago.
CN owns track that goes around
