Chicago is a critical supply chain link for CN. More than 500 freight trains pass through the region daily, and CN's rail ring route takes cargo around the city, rather than through it, to cut the congestion for our customers. As an important rail hub for the U.S. Midwest, CN has invested in a terminal to plan for future growth while ensuring current terminal operations remain fluid. The new Chicago Logistics Hub is set to open in 2026.

We work closely with partner ocean carriers and North American producers to provide “matchback” of international containers. Matchbacks occur when CN loads an import container that would otherwise return to origin empty, with export products such as lumber, resin, pulp, grains, or refrigerated goods - enabling ocean freight lines to cover some of the cost of shipping empty containers back to their home port. Exporters benefit from advantageous rates and carriers fill their ships with payload cargo - a win-win situation for all.
Export Matchback Opportunities
Access to container stuffing and transload facilities throughout our network
CN Brokerage is leading the industry with the most consistent record of customs clearance.
