We are committed to investing for the future, which includes our infrastructure, facilities, rolling assets such as locomotives and rail cars, and technology. We invest about $1 billion every year to maintain and upgrade our infrastructure, to ensure safe, reliable service for our customers.” (Sanborn, 2016, p. 1) Ms. Sanborn is very right on this subject as long as money is being allocated properly. Utilizing lean thinking techniques and implanting a Six Sigma program where the upper management is committed to the goal of constant improvement, waste reduction, and total quality management is a necessity. (Wisner, Tan & Leong, 2012) One of the processes that needs reassessed is that of track maintenance. Normally a large crew with many pieces of equipment will work replacing railroad ties, ballast (rock) and sometimes the rail itself. The difficult part is that trains may need to run on alternate schedules or be rerouted a whole different direction for sometimes several weeks while track work is being done. Having the latest technology in equipment coupled with highly trained employees can make a huge difference in productivity. A second aspect is a refocus on the customer. This means delivering rail cars when there needed, and damage free. Talking with the customer to

Rail- Unifor regards rail transportation as one of its important membership and hence contain over 9000 members in this sector. These members work for CN Rail, VIA Rail passenger service, Canadian Pacific and Ontario Northland Railway. (Unifor website)

The Norfolk and Sothern railway has been honored as the safest railway in the world. This railway has held the safety honor bell longer than any railway company. It has as many as twenty thousand route miles in twenty two states across the United States. Since the early 1800s there have been hundred maybe thousands of small railway companies, over time many of these small companies merged to create what is now known as the Norfolk and Southern railway. “Some of the small railway companies that merged to create this railway are “The Southern Railway and Norfolk and Western railway in 1982” (Norfolk and Southern Corp, 1).

In May of 1869, the "golden spike" was driven into the Utah desert which signified the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. Since then, rails across the nation sprung up, but were privately owned. In 1971, The National Railroad Passenger Corporation was formed which merged most railroad companies here in the US. This corporation is better known as Amtrak, which is a government-funded American passenger railroad service. When Amtrak was founded, it was seen as a huge investment and success, but as they entered the 21st century, issues arose. As railroads get older, they need repairs just like roads and bridges. In a 2004 Congressional deadlock, Amtrak was forced to defer maintenance. In 2006, the company requested $1.8 billion

Canadian National Railway is a company that is a part of the transportation rail industry. It transports a variety of goods around Canada and the United States. After thoroughly analyzing the annual report for 2015, it is evident that CN is doing well and has been for the past years. This report includes the historic success of CN, comparison to industry and competing company and the analysis of the financial statements. These information help understand how its revenues, profit and overall success is increasing year by year.

The focus of this investigation is to evaluate the significance of the Chinese people for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The CPR was a transcontinental rail line that had the purpose of connecting the East and the West side of Canada (Lee 44). The construction of it took several years, it was expensive, and it required thousands of workers, that were not necessarily available in Canada (Cranny, Jarvis, Moles, and Senney 4). With the need for more workers, and having seen the success of Chinese workers in the mines of California, Andrew Onderdonk, the American engineer responsible for the railway (Cranny, Jarvis, Moles, and Senney 1-2), decided that if there were not enough white workers, he would engage Chinese people

These trains have a design that is successful and smart as well as safe, the trains have a big enough area and many seats to include more passengers on each train carriage. Passengers will have a train ride that is comfortable and quick, The trains need to be on time due to the passengers needing to be on time to work, school
