THE CANADIAN National Railway Company (CN) is a world-class transportation leader and trade enabler. Our 20,000-mile network passes through incredibly diverse landscapes, from the Northwest Territories through the Rocky Mountains, and across the Prairies to big cities such as Chicago, Toronto and Montreal, as well as vital ports like Prince Rupert, Vancouver and Halifax. With heavy snowfalls, freezing rain and frigid temperatures commonplace in these regions, having a robust winter plan is critical to keeping our customers' supply chains fluid. Each year in early autumn, with the input of key stakeholders, CN publishes a comprehensive Winter Plan1, outlining the proactive actions that we take to reduce the effects of winter on our customers while ensuring that our operations are safe for our employees and the communities that we serve. The plan describes the challenges that CN faces when operating during North American winters and describes the steps that we have implemented to maintain our operations throughout the season.
