MONTREAL, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) and Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) today announced the
signing of a binding Memorandum of Understanding that will strengthen rail service across North America, improving both
railroads' ability to serve customers. The agreement provides Union Pacific with expanded operating rights over CN's
Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway (EJ&E) corridor through Chicago, while granting CN new rights over Union
Pacific's network between Memphis, Tennessee, and Eagle Pass, Texas, to support freight movements between Canada and
Mexico. “We are thrilled to have an agreement with Union Pacific to expand CN’s access to Mexico. This is a natural
extension of our north-south franchise and will open new routes for customers, provide greater choice and strengthen
connections between Canada and Mexico,” said Tracy Robinson, President and CEO of CN. “By extending our reach, we
are creating new opportunities for growth while continuing to deliver the safe, reliable service our customers expect.
This is another example of CN’s commitment to strengthening rail competitiveness across North America.” "I’ve seen
the benefits first-hand of what the EJ&E route around Chicago can do for a railroad, and we look forward to having
access to the quickest way around Chicago,” said Jim Vena, CEO of Union Pacific. Forward-Looking Statements Certain
