01 Octobre 2024 - 10:30PM
CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) has published its 2024-2025 Winter Plan.
“At CN, we know all too well that the winter
brings unique operational challenges. Our Winter Plan reflects
learnings and feedback from our railroaders, customers, supply
chain partners and stakeholders. This collaborative approach allows
us to put in place proactive solutions across the network as we
make the operational shift for winter operations. Having this work
done in advance ensures our continued ability to deliver safe and
reliable service for our customers, supply chains and the North
American economy.”
— Tracy Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer, CN
Highlights of the 2024-2025 Winter
Plan:
- Leveraging
technology: This year, CN is deploying its 4th generation
Autonomous Track Inspection Program (ATIP) which uses ground
penetrating radar to provide detailed assessments of ballast and
subgrade conditions, allowing for prompt repairs.
- Enhancing network
reliability: In 2024, CN invested over $1 million to
overhaul 20 of its air cars, replacing air compressors and other
major components to ensure reliability. CN has spent $61.6 million
on its air car program since 2009, strategically deploying them
during the colder months to reduce the need to shorten trains,
improving service reliability and protecting capacity.
- Response
Readiness: CN maintains a strategic reserve of
locomotives in critical corridors to limit delays caused by weather
and deploys backup power generators across the network, allowing
operations to continue even during localized or widespread power
failures.
- People: Between
April 2023 and May 2024, the number of available CN operating
employees grew by 9%.
