During the coldest winter months, our fleet of distributed braking cars contributes to the safe and efficient transportation of goods, as well as the reliability of service that our customers have come to expect.
Distributed braking cars are an important part of CN’s Winter Operations Plan, which outlines the measures and innovations we have implemented to maintain our operations to meet customer needs and ensure safe operations. and efficient operation of the railway during these difficult months.
During the cold season, we pay particular attention to maintaining constant air circulation in the train’s brake lines to be able to transport our customers’ goods. And this is possible thanks to distributed braking cars, which are modified boxcars containing air compressors and braking equipment.
