Did you know rail is 4 times more efficient than a truck? One unit-train of freight can remove more than 300 trucks from our roads, reducing GHG emissions.

La pandémie a bouleversé le modèle d’affaires des entreprises du Québec et du Canada. Malgré la reprise des activités commerciales, l’incertitude demeure. Quelles sont les perspectives d’avenir de l’industrie ferroviaire au Québec? Quels obstacles faudra-t-il surmonter dans l’après-crise? Notre événement virtuel du 29 septembre abordera ces questions tout en permettant des échanges sur des solutions pouvant offrir un avenir durable au transport ferroviaire.

Through operations and investments, the Canadian rail industry is helping grow the Canadian economy. With efficient productivity, wage growth, and annual investments over $7.2 billion was generated in revenues for federal and provincial/territorial governments. These all contributed to increasing our economic footprint!

Canada's railways invest, on average, between 20% and 25% of their own revenues back into their networks each year close to $30 billion in Canada since 1999 to ensure that Canada has a world-class rail system that is safe, efficient, and affordable.

We not only advocate for our nation’s freight, commuter, tourist and intercity railways, we also offer our members a wide range of services that help to make Canada’s rail industry one of the best and safest in the world. Learn more about our services we offer: http://ow.ly/3dB550BdS4w

Happy Labour Day! We celebrate the hard work of railroaders every year, but this year in particular we'd like to say thank you to every rail worker & their families for their vital efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been on the frontlines delivering essential supplies such as such as food, fuel and medical supplies to Canadians during these unprecedented times. Thank you for all your hard work!
