CN’s latest commitment follows a similar $110 million investment in 2024, which included $3.5 million for new railcars and $1.5 million for modernizing the Stevens Point yard.

CN Strengthens Wisconsin Operations with Targeted Upgrades

The railway employs 1,197 workers in Wisconsin and operates nearly 988 route miles across the state. This makes CN a vital player in supporting local industries and regional logistics.

According to Wisconsin Railroad Commissioner Don Vruwink, the investment will lead to safer rail crossings and more dependable service. Communities and businesses statewide are expected to benefit.

CN believes that investing in infrastructure is essential to meet rising transportation demands. It also supports its goal of safer, greener, and more efficient operations across its U.S. corridor.

CN Maintains Growth Focus Through Sustainable Investment

By focusing on rail infrastructure, CN prepares for future economic growth while improving current operations. These projects will boost resilience, speed, and capacity across major freight routes.

The railroad expects long-term returns by minimizing delays, reducing maintenance disruptions, and enhancing network reliability. CN’s proactive investment strategy ensures its continued leadership in freight transportation.

With steady investment in technology, operations, and safety, CN positions itself to deliver competitive, high-quality rail service throughout Wisconsin and beyond.
