Mesabi Railroad LLC, a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption to operate a rail line in Itasca County, Minnesota, and associated sidetracks.

CN says it’s setting up a new “shelf” filing in Canada and the U.S. that would let it sell debt in either market over the next 37 months, replacing an earlier shelf prospectus and SEC registration statement that were due to expire May 3.

CN has moved more than 2.96 million metric tons of grain from Western Canada, setting a new record for March and achieving our highest-ever first-quarter results for grain movement.
