Canadian National is already a big player in the US. They are really the only "North American" road, with trackage and trackage rights from Canada to Mexico. For a better (and more correct) version of how they came into being, please refer to www.cn.ca and check the history section. In a nutshell, CN was formed by the Canadian government as competition to CPR, which was driving many of the smaller, and not so small players to bankruptcy. It was first organized as Canadian Government Railways, then CN as GT, CNor, and many other roads were added. All this occurred from about the end of WWI into the 1920s. CN was privatized some years ago, and has remained extremely successful. Andrew Note: CP Air was actually an airLINE, not an airPLANE company, that became Canadian AIrlines, then went under.
