The three letters are from the General Chairmen of GO-377, GO-433, and GO-987 of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, Transportation Division (“SMART-TD”). All three general chairmen write that their local unions “unequivocally support[] approval of Canadian National’s voting trust.” In combination, GO-377, GO-433, and GO-987 represent over 1800 conductors on the CN system in the United States. GO-377 represents over 200 conductors on the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company; GO-433 represents over 800 conductors employed on the Illinois Central Railroad Company and the Chicago-Central & Pacific Railroad Company; and GO-987 1 CN-22 KCS-5 represents approximately 800 conductors on the Wisconsin Central Ltd. portion of CN’s system.

Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.
