Our track must pass TEST.

Our customers and the general public expect the
track in CN's vast rai! network to always be
in top shape-and rightfully so. That's essential

to the reliable, damage-free delivery of goods,

and maximum safety for everyone.

CN has always acknowledged that resronsibility.
And we constantly strive to find better ways to
maintain our track and keeg it safe.

TEST—an acronym for our new Track Evaluation
Systems—is an example of a CN inziovation that
enables us to monitor track conditions far more
frequently and precisely than previous systems.
It allows us to employ preventive track maintenance
tc small problems before they become big trouble.

Safe, reliable track is essential
to our performance.

CN has three TEST units that constantly travel
our rail network. Each consists of two rail cars.
One is a ballasted car that can simulate varying
weight loads. That innovative feature enables us
to test conditions when our track is subjected
to stress from realistic toads up to 100 tons.

Sensory equipment on the ballast car feeds
information on rail and roadbed conditions to the
second car, where on-board computers make
data available for immediate analysis. Supervisors
scan the reports and even view certain conditions
on monitors—relaying prompt instructions to
track maintenance people.
CN has a history of innovative “firsts” among
railroads the wurld over. TEST is another way
we're using the fast word in technology to improve
productivity and maximize safety. That’s to
everyone's benefit.

Living up to the commitment.

TV monitors on-board CN TEST cars can provide

2 close-up loox at track conditions.
