Indeed it does, but that is the correct French spelling. CN boxcars usually have "Canadian National" (English) on one side and "Canadien National" (French) on the other.

Boxcars, gondolas, and some classes of grain hoppers as well. Keep in mind that the Commonwealth of Canada is officially a bilingual nation with both English and French as its official languages; since CN operates in Quebec (and CN's reason for being was to "bind the Commonwealth together") some of its rolling stock also has a bilingual lettering scheme.
