It also ran the Royal Hudsonservices, as well as the premier\'s private train.
In 2004, the freight operations (including a vast amount of land, buildings, and all rolling stock) of BC Rail were leased to Canadian National Raileway(CN) for an initial period of 60 years, with the exception of the Deltaport Spur, for the price of $550 million.
