Canadian National Railways (CN) has acquired Iowa Northern Railway Company (IANR). The purchase has been approved by the country’s Surface Transportation Board. The short line has three direct class 1 interchanges as well as a short line interchange.
IANR serves 20 grain elevators, two ethanol plants, two mineral processing facilities as well as the Manly terminal, a liquids storage and transloading facility.
The takeover will allow CN to combine IANR’s 280 route kilometres with CN’s 32,200 km network by 13 February. The combined CN-IANR will offer single-line services to better connect grain, fertiliser, renewable fuels and industrial markets to CN’s North American network, the railways said. (ben)
