History- (edited from Wikipedia) CN is Canada's largest railway, in terms of both revenue and the physical size of its rail network. It spans Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia across approximately 20,400 route miles of track. CN is a public company with 24,000 employees. It was government-owned, having been a Canadian Crown corporation from its founding until being privatized in 1995. As of 2019, Bill Gates is the largest single shareholder of CN stock.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition and measures 10 ½ x 15 inches.
You can pick this up in Porters Lake. I do go into northend Halifax once a week during the lunch hour and could meet you there if that is easier.
