Hudson Bay Railway Company (HBRY) owns and operates over 627 miles of former Canadian National (CN) trackage with a network that connects with CN in The Pas, running north through Manitoba to the Hudson Bay. HBRY is a vital transportation link in northern Manitoba, hauling perishables, automobiles, construction material, heavy and dimensional equipment, scrap, hazardous materials, kraft paper, concentrates, containers, fertilizer, wheat and other grain products. VIA Rail also operates remote services on HBR using its Hudson Bay passenger train between Winnipeg, and Churchill, Manitoba.

Major customers for HBRY include Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting, Tolko Manitoba, Gardewine North, Imperial Oil, Petro Canada, Stittco Energy, and the Canadian Wheat Board.  Wheat and durum marketed by the Canadian Wheat Board as well as other crops grown in Western Canada are exported through the HBRY's affiliate, the Hudson Bay Port Company, which is located at the northern terminus of the railway.
