Reduce Your Transportation Supply Chain GHG Emissions by Shipping With CN

Shipping by rail provides a more sustainable option for getting goods to market, and CN is proud to provide our customers with low carbon transportation solutions that leverage rail for the long haul and trucking over shorter distances. When it comes to shipping your merchandise to and from Atlantic Canada, CN is able to get closer to you and your customers than any other railway, reducing your trucking portion and helping to lower your overall transportation supply chain GHG emissions.
