Certified Rail Ready Sites
Caption

CN’s Certified Rail Ready Site program makes it easier and faster to find a location for your new business or to expand your current one. Each industrial site is strategically located along our network, guaranteeing CN rail access and ready for development. Plus, each property has also been rigorously evaluated and certified for industrial development by a third party with strict criteria around municipal zoning, electrical, natural gas, water, wastewater, telecommunications, highways, and environmental assessment. This approach reduces development risk and time, enabling you to start shipping sooner.
