MONTREAL — Canadian National Railway is consolidating its U.S. and Canadian commodities operations into a single business unit.
Ross Goldsworthy, CN’s vice-president for Canadian grain and fertilizers, has also been promoted to the new position of vice-president for bulk commodities, the Montreal-based railway said Thursday.
“This streamlined new organization will position CN to help grain, fertilizer and coal customers improve their competitiveness in domestic and international markets through our continued focus on service, product innovation, efficient operations and improved asset utilization,” Goldsworthy said.
CN (TSX:CNR) transports grain, oilseeds, specialty crops and processed grain products from Canada and the U.S. Midwest to continental markets in North America and to terminals at ports for export to overseas markets.
The company also serves the fertilizer industry with links from
potash mines and large fertilizer producers to all major markets in
North America.
