CN Publishes 2019-2020 Winter Plan
October 01 2019 - 9:30AM
As part of its commitment to delivering safely during winter, CN
(TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) is pleased to announce that, following
consultations and collaboration with customers and stakeholders,
the Company has published its 2019-2020 Winter Plan.
The Winter Plan is an explanation of CN’s
commitment to meet the needs of its customers during extreme
operating conditions. CN’s investments in meeting growing customer
demand across its network also enable the Company to increase the
resiliency and recoverability of the network in cases of extreme
operating conditions. Investing in specific measures such as key
infrastructure and equipment help the Company safely and
efficiently move more goods and minimize the impact of
unpredictable weather.
“Despite historically low temperatures in
December 2018 through March 2019, CN delivered record volumes
across its network, including in heavily impacted areas such as
Western Canada and Northern Ontario,” said JJ Ruest, president and
chief executive officer at CN. “Growth and safety are at the core
of everything we do. We believe that the formula for meeting
growing customer demand safely is by investing in double tracking
key corridors, upgrading our fleet, maintaining appropriate
staffing levels, using air distribution cars and deploying other
safety enhancing technologies. These investments also allow us to
deal with extreme weather patterns safely and more effectively and
enable us to recover faster when the temperature returns to
seasonal norms. We want to thank our customers and supply chain
partners that are expanding their onsite storage capacity and
fluidity. These investments are aligned with an end-to-end view of
the supply chain which is critical for North America to fully
realize its potential as a leader in global markets.”
