Canada to reconstruct CN Railways finances plan

The system arose from amalgamations, with deficits fed by over capitalized lines and strategic mileage, and recent years have seen deficits reduced to enable interest payments. Thornton cited surpluses rising, wages and freight rates adjusted, and predicted a self supporting, publicly owned system that would reassure taxpayers and the world of Canada's financial strength.
