CN Honors Southern Railway of British Columbia as Top Short Line Partner

Canadian National Railway recognized Southern Railway of British Columbia Limited as its 2025 Brandon Rudnikoff Short Line Partner of the Year. The award was presented recently at CN's 2026 Short Line Conference in Chicago, citing the carrier's dedication to collaboration, safety and customer service. SRY operates 123 track miles across British Columbia's Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, serving as a critical link in one of Canada's most vital trade corridors. The partnership combines CN's long-haul network capabilities with SRY's regional expertise and last-mile solutions. Recent joint efforts include developing a new steel supply chain that leverages both carriers' strengths. CN works with more than 120 short line partners across North America to deliver customized logistics solutions. SRY's rigorous maintenance and safety programs support predictable service in the high-density urban and port environment.
