CN investing $35M across Iowa to maintain network partially in support of ethanol

In Iowa, CN said that as part of its strategic investments to support growing demand and enable supply chains, it plans to invest approximately $35 million across Iowa in 2020. The investments will focus on the replacement of ties and maintenance of bridges, level crossings, culverts, signal systems and other track infrastructure as well as continued investments in Positive Train Control.

“CN has made significant investments for years across Iowa. These investments will link us to global markets and set a firm foundation for a rapid economic recovery. CN’s rail network helps our farmers, ethanol plants and, ultimately, Iowa consumers,” said Tim Kraayenbrink, Iowa State Senator.
