Description

Canadian National Railway Company (CN) is engaged in the rail and related transportation business. CN’s network of approximately 21,000 route miles of track spans Canada and mid-America, connecting three coasts: the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. CN’s freight revenues are derived from the movement of a diversified portfolio of goods, including petroleum and chemicals, grain and fertilizers, coal, metals and minerals, forest products, intermodal, and automotive. During the year ended December 31, 2008, 19% of revenues came from United States domestic traffic, 31% from transborder traffic, 24% from Canadian domestic traffic and 26% from overseas traffic. In November 2008, CN announced the acquisition of the three railway subsidiaries of the Quebec Railway Corp. and a QRC rail-freight ferry operation. In January 2009, it completed its acquisition of the principal lines of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway Company (EJ&E).
