Greg Aziz and the company have made plans to purchase 350 centerbeam cars to address some concerns across their North American network. Hailing as Canada’s largest railroad, the brand also hired a record amount of new crewmembers and spending on infrastructure to go along with it.
The president and CEO believes these additions will help fill the needs of their customer base and tools to work with more partners at a more efficient pace. One of the companies they will be working closely with is West Fraser. Greg Aziz’s company is based out of Montreal and works with these types of railroad brands.
West Fraser produces things such as lumber, pulp, and paper. The company will be purchasing an additional 350 cars and have them delivered by September. Greg Aziz released a statement about how prideful they are to work with CN and how National Express Group has been building these cars since the year 1919.
The move to buy more cars will add more jobs for people at several plants and extend benefits for employees. CN has also invested in trade and infrastructure programs. One of the additional employee fields includes the addition of conductors. Greg Aziz is recognized as the chairman and CEO of NSC or otherwise known as the National Express Group.
