In this article:

MONTREAL, July 24 (Reuters) - Canadian National Railway Co will have more overall capacity on its trains in the back half of 2018, and it expects to take on more shipments of crude by rail, Chief Executive Jean-Jacques Ruest said on Tuesday.

“In the second half we will have more capacity, therefore we will also be able to execute a bigger book of business of crude," Ruest told analysts.

Crude by rail revenue is up compared with last year because of better pricing, he said. (Reporting by Allison Lampert; editing by Jonathan Oatis)
