CN releases 2022-23 Winter Plan

CN's Winter Plan sets out a wide range of initiatives to ensure CN has the capacity and resources to meet customer needs.

CEO Tracy Robinson has been focusing the CN team on servicing customer needs by getting back to basics.

The 2022-23 Winter Plan released last week is built on four cornerstones: operating safely, delivering the best possible service, increasing network productivity and improving resiliency.

Some of new initiatives outlined in the Winter Plan to help improve delivery include:

- an increase in CN’s inventory of high and mid-horsepower locomotives to approximately 1,950 locomotives, with the addition of 57 high-horsepower locomotives.

- 800 new boxcars to be delivered in early 2023, and the delivery of 500 high-efficiency hopper cars during the 2022-23 crop year.
