Status of the Railroad - A Message from Kenny Rocker, EVP, Marketing & Sales

Announcement Number: CN2025-16

To Our Customers, 

Fall is officially here and with it comes a familiar excitement in my household — college football season! My team is off to a strong start and remains undefeated, but this weekend we face another formidable opponent so I will be cheering loud for my Bulldogs! 

Intermodal Peak Season is well underway and the upcoming holidays bring both grain and intermodal volumes into focus. It’s all about having the infrastructure in place to manage intermodal efficiently and keeping the goods moving to retailers. Across our network, we’re well prepared for this fall’s grain harvest. Locomotives, equipment and resources are ready to support shuttle and manifest trains as the crops make their way to loading facilities.
