CANADIAN National plans to invest CAD30 million (US$22.5 million) in New Brunswick and CAD10 million in Nova Scotia this year to rebuild road crossing surfaces and conduct maintenance work on bridges, culverts, signal systems and other track infrastructure. In New Brunswick, investments also include the installation of 20 miles of new rail and 50,000 railroad ties, while investments in Nova Scotia include the installation of six miles of new rail and 2,100 railroad ties. The investments in both eastern Canadian provinces are part of CN's record CAD3.4 billion capital programme for 2018.
Its rail network in New Brunswick stretches across the entire province, transporting consumer goods and other intermodal traffic to Moncton, and reaches the ports of Saint John and Belledune. The company operates 596 railroad route miles throughout New Brunswick.
In Nova Scotia, CN's rail network connects the port of Halifax's container terminals with markets in central Canada and the US Midwest and accesses its Autoport facility, which handles vehicles for distribution across North America and to Newfoundland. It operates 162 railroad route miles in Nova Scotia.
