In these tragic and painful times it is important to stand. I am thankful and applaud all of the people, organizations and companies ready to stand, speak and be counted. Support matters. By standing together, speaking out and committing to diversity we can make change

[Canadian National @CNRailway]

CN stands with the Business Council of Canada and the companies, many of which are our customers, suppliers, and partners, in a deep commitment to diversity and to a safe and inclusive workplace. We all share in the responsibility to eliminate racism.

CN was proud to support the 24th Annual Fields on Wheels Conference in Winnipeg, where CN’s Kerwin Belle spoke about our cold supply chain expertise in reaching global markets.

[Andrew de Freitas @DefreitasAP]

A supply chain salute to Total Transport and Rigging. Thank you for partnering with us in moving the last known Centurion tank to see front-line action during the Korean War. It is great to see an integrated supply chain coming together to honour our veterans and Armed Forces.

Congratulations to my colleagues out in Canada’s breadbasket on the opening of the Regina Intermodal terminal. This is a great addition to the CN network and will provide new solutions for Saskatchewan shippers and consumers. #reachfarther

Neat fact. I see why they call it big data.

[Canadian National @CNRailway]

Did you know that a single CN Autonomous Track Inspection Car can process up to 20 gigabytes of data for each mile of track inspected?

Bringing together a supply chain team to move the last known Korean War front line Centurion. 1st Mile Hoist to truck and movement to CN rail siding in Dartmouth. Thanks to AW Leil for your partnership on this project to save a reminder of the sacrifices our veterans have made.

The last known Centurion tank to see the front line during the Korean War is making its final coast to coast journey from Nova Scotia to British Columbia.

At CN we are finding new ways to harness big data and technology to drive safety, capacity efficiency and growth. #ReachFarther

[Canadian National @CNRailway]

Capacity is about more than real estate. CN is investing more than any other Class I railroad into building capacity. We are investing in infrastructure, equipment, crews, and technology to meet our customers' needs for the long haul. #FridayFact #ReachFarther

[Andrew de Freitas @DefreitasAP]

John, great safety point. Trains can come from any direction and with multiple tracks there can be more than one train approaching a crossing. STOP, LOOK both ways, LISTEN before crossing tracks. #railsafety

[John Mazzei @JohnMazzeiCN]

Do you know what the number above the tracks means? Before I started working at CN, I didn't. It indicates more than one set of tracks at a crossing and the number of tracks to expect at that location.
