Geschiedenis
CN is Canada's largest railway, in terms of both revenue and the physical size of its rail network, and is Canada's only transcontinental railway company, spanning Canada from the Atlantic coast in Nova Scotia to the Pacific coast in British Columbia across about 20,400 route miles (32,831 km) of track.[1] In the late 20th century, it gained extensive capacity in the United States by taking over such railroads as the Illinois Central.
The railway was referred to as "Canadian National Railways" (CNR) between 1919 and 1960, and as "Canadian National"/"Canadien National" (CN) from 1960 to the present.
