  • Dave Elm, Officer Locomotive Engineer Compliance and Training

    "Those in the military face long hours, tough weather and time away from home. We can easily handle these types of challenges on the railroad.

    Railroading and military is perfect fit. We are loyal employees who give 110 percent."

     

  • Jason Elm, Officer Training and Development

    “I always say that the railroad is like the military without a uniform. Both run 24/7, 365 days a year.

    Soldiers, sailors and airmen follow everything by the book and maintain situational awareness to stay safe and keep each other safe. We do the same at CN to serve each other and our customers.”
