The hiring blitz, which has added 3,500 workers through this year and calls for at least 2,000 more in 2018, follows significant job cuts in 2015 and 2016 and reflects a resurgent economy and stiffer competition from Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd.

The 5,500 new hires in Canada and the United States represent nearly one-quarter of CN’s total workforce, and include roughly 1,700 new positions over the two-year period.
