1,000 hopper cars from Mexico
Canadian National Railways (CN) has placed an order for 1,000 new generation, high-capacity grain hopper cars. They will be produced in a Trinity Rail manufacturing plant in Mexico and will help move more grain across the rail company’s network.
The Trinity Rail order is part of a larger programme to build and renew a fleet of 6,000 hopper railcars over the next three years. CN recently made a formal offer to acquire Kansas City Southern, a fellow Class I railway.
The combination would extend the span of CN’s network from Canada and the USA. into Mexico, making it the first railway to link North America’s three national economies, the company said. (ben)
