	Canadian National Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian National Railway ( CN ; AAR reporting marks CN, CNA, CNIS), known as Canadian National Railways ( CNR) between 1918 and 1960, and Canadian National / Canadien National (CN) from 1960 to present, is a Canadian Class I railway operated by Canadian National Railway Company.
		Railways, until the rise of the personal automobile and creation of taxpayer-funded all-weather highways, were the only credible long-distance land transportation available in Canada for many years, and as such, their operation consumed a great deal of public and political attention.
		Many countries regard railway networks as critical infrastructure (even to this day) and at the time of the creation of CNR during the continuing threat of the First World War, Canada was not the only country to engage in railway nationalization.
