CN announced plans to invest approximately US$110 million in Wisconsin, as part of its 2025 capital investment program. This investment will support track maintenance and strategic infrastructure initiatives in the state.

“We believe that investing in our network is about building for the future,” said Tracy Robinson, President, and Chief Executive Officer of CN. “Our continued infrastructure investment in Wisconsin will help strengthen the resiliency and efficiency of our network across the state. Our focus remains on providing exceptional service to our customers and supply chain partners, supporting strong economic growth for North America and across communities where we operate.”
“CN’s investment in Wisconsin infrastructure supports safer crossings and more reliable service statewide. These improvements help ensure that Wisconsin communities remain connected, competitive, and protected, “said Don Vruwink, Wisconsin Commissioner of Railroads.
