Carload prices now available on CN website <br />(CN issued the following news release on April 11.) <br /> <br />MONTREAL -- CN announced today that its customers can now obtain instantaneous carload prices 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the railway's website, www.cn.ca. <br /> <br />James Foote, CN's executive vice-president, sales and marketing, said: "This new pricing tool significantly increases the speed at which we can quote rates for our customers, and makes it much easier for shippers to do business with us. In years past, the manual, time-intensive methods of quoting single-line and interline prices could take days or even weeks. That's something CN and the rail industry can no longer afford in today's fast-paced business environment." <br /> <br />Prices are available on CN's website for all carload traffic moving anywhere on the company's North American rail network; all destinations on CSX Transportation; and for selected carload commodities to destinations served by BNSF Railway Company, Union Pacific Railroad and Norfolk Southern Railway. Prices to Canadian Pacific Railway destinations are expected to be available by mid-August 2005. All railroads are continuing to work together to expand universal coverage for this new pricing tool. <br /> <br />To obtain access to this new instantaneous pricing tool, customers should contact their CN Account Manager. <br /> <br />Canadian National Railway Company spans Canada and mid-America, from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to the Gulf of Mexico, serving the ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, B.C., Montreal, Halifax, New Orleans, and Mobile, Ala., and the key cities of Toronto, Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Duluth, Minn./Superior, Wis., Green Bay, Wis., Minneapolis/St. Paul, Memphis, St. Louis, and Jackson, Miss., with connections to all points in North America. <br /> <br /> <br />Tuesday, April 12, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />
