Canadian National Railway Company will invest this year CAD 210 million (USD 138 million) in Quebec railway infrastructure to improve its safety and to support efficient transport services. The investment will focus on the replacement, upgrade and maintenance of key track infrastructure. The programme includes upgrades to the automated gate system at CN’s Montreal intermodal terminal, improving truck flow and making it easier for trucks to move in and out of the facility. It also includes significant investments in information and technology as part of various initiatives to improve railway safety and customer service.
“We are again investing across the province to support a safe and fluid railway network, and our increasing investments in technology are making our Montreal headquarters part of the growing tech economy of Quebec,” Michael Farkouh, vice-president of CN’s Eastern Region said.
The company will install 64 km of new rail, more than 155,000 rail ties, will rebuild more than 35 road crossing surfaces and will maintain culverts, signal systems and other track infrastructure in Quebec.
CN’s Quebec rail network stretches over 3200 km and serves various regions, including the Port of Montreal.
