BN moved 100,000 cars on 126,000 miles of rail to transport food, fuel, and goods to American markets on a scale only the railroad could handle. This is a tribute to the people and equipment that could pump 2,000 freight cars a day through its classification yards. (26 minutes)

TLC (Tender Loving Care) - CN Rail, 1978

Narrated by Chet Huntley. (28 minutes)
