Enabling Canada’s World-Class Supply Chain

Canadian Class 1 railways are expected to invest approximately $4 billion into their networks in 2022. The investments in infrastructure and equipment are enabling railways to better serve their customers by enhancing the safety, efficiency and resiliency of the network.

Canada’s two Class 1 railways – CN and CP – have put in place comprehensive, robust and focused action plans to get Canadian grain safely and efficiently to market.

Investing in infrastructure, equipment and people

This year, railways are replacing, upgrading and maintaining key infrastructure.

In addition, railways have ordered thousands of new, high-capacity grain hopper cars from National Steel Car in Hamilton, Ont., and employ nearly 40,000 people across North America.
