Cando is claimed to be one of North America’s largest owners and operators of first and last-mile rail infrastructure.

By connecting large industrial shippers to the Class I rail network, Cando acts as a key and integrated link in the rail supply chain.

The company, which was established in 1978, manages an interconnected network of more than 40 industrial railyards, nine owned terminals, and one short-line railroad. 

This network, along with more than 900 employees and 100 locomotives, enables Cando to better serve both shipper-customers and Class I partners.
