 | | ---- The Canadian National Railway Company (commonly referred to as Canadian National, Canadien National, CN, or CN Rail; formerly referred to as Canadian National Railways or CNR, pre-1960; AAR reporting marks CN, CNA, CNIS), is the largest freight railway in Canada, both in terms of the size of its track network, and in revenue. |
 | | In 1999, CN and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), the second largest rail system in the U.S., announced their intent to merge, forming a new corporate entity North American Railways to be headquartered in Montreal, QuebecMontreal to conform with the CN Commercialization Act of 1995. |
 | | Since the company operates internationally in two different countries, CN apparently maintains some corporate distinction by having its U.S. lines grouped under Grand Trunk Corporation for legal purposes http://www.aar.org/AboutTheIndustry/RailroadProfiles.asp, however the entire company in both Canada and the U.S. operates under CN, as can be seen in its locomotive and rail car repainting programs. |
