CN will acquire 200 new locomotives over the next three years from GE Transportation to handle growth opportunities and drive operational efficiency across its system, the railroad said.

CN is planning to invest approximately C$2.9 billion (nearly $2.1 billion) in 2016 in rail infrastructure and equipment to raise network efficiency, support long-term growth and further strengthen safety, the company said last week.

CN said Feb. 18 that locomotive engineers and conductors working on the company’s Northern Quebec Internal Short line have ratified a new collective agreement.
