CANADIAN National (CN) and Vossloh have signed a multi-annual framework contract for the supply of turnouts, following on from a similar agreement for concrete sleepers, which was signed in April.

Vossloh’s Customised Modules division is planning to increase production capacity at one of its existing sites in North America to fulfil CN’s turnout requirements.

The Tie Technologies business unit will establish a new rail-connected production facility in western Canada to supply sleepers to CN.
