Canadian National Railway announced July 11 it’s spending $315 million on its 2,500-mile rail network in Ontario. Northwestern Ontario will see some of that investment with Sioux Lookout being the location for a new train passing siding on CN’s transcontinental corridor between Winnipeg and Toronto. Capital is earmarked for intermodal rail yard expansions to move containers into and out of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, specifically at CN’s Brampton Intermodal Terminal. …CN is purchasing 350 new box cars and 350 new lumber cars from National Steel Car in Hamilton to meet the demand to move wood products and has 1,000 high-cube grain hopper cars on order over the next two years to replace its aging equipment.
