YES! WINNIPEG 19 Cash taxes paid (2017) $354,000 Railroad route miles operated Employees (approx) You might be surprised at how many of the goods, food, and materials you use on a daily basis have been moved, at least in part, by CN. For nearly 100 years, the company has been a leading transportation and logistics pioneer and moves over 300 million tonnes of cargo with a value of about $250 billion. CN is the only transcontinental railway in North America, with a 20,000- mile network that connects 10 ports on three coasts. More than just a railway, the company offers a fully integrated suite of logistics services including assistance with intermodal transportation, freight forwarding, warehousing, and customs brokerage. In addition to moving goods for manufacturers and retailers, CN's cargo haul includes about 20% of Canada's overall annual exports. CN has a long and rich history in Winnipeg. The railway has played an important role in the economic and social development of the city for nearly 100 years. Today, CN facilities include the Symington Yard, Transcona Shops and the CN Claude Mongeau National Training Centre, a state-of-the-art facility that trains over 500 employees every week who come here from across Canada. Winnipeg is recognized by CN as a central hub for the company. In 2018, the company will be investing $130 million across Manitoba as part of its overall $3.4 billion capital program, which will strengthen rail infrastructure and improve network capacity. Hiring and training is also happening in Winnipeg, with approximately 1,250 new qualified instructors trained by next winter at CN's National Training Centre. Millions of people interact with goods and products shipped by CN on a daily basis, and Winnipeg is an integral part of the company's long-term success. CN Laying down the tracks to success "Winnipeg is a major hub of CN's transcontinental network. We have nearly 2,000 employees who live and work in this city and we're proud to invest in Winnipeg for the long haul. Our project at Symington Yard, combined with track investments across the Prairies, and new equipment and more people, will help us deliver superior service to our grain and other customers throughout Manitoba and North America."
