Canadian Pacific Railway - CPR
Canadian Pacific Railway was incorporated in 1881 when Canada was still a young and sparsely populated country. When CPR completed Canada’s first cross-country rail link in 1885, it united the nation and opened up the Canadian West to settlement. Towns and industries grew up along the CPR line, as the railway delivered people and goods to the new territory. CPR eventually left the transcontinental passenger business to focus on freight transportation. CPR is one of seven North American Class 1 railways, and a leader in bulk and intermodal transportation services. Today, the railway’s Canadian network includes a high-density main line between Montreal and Vancouver, which is served by a number of collector and feeder lines. CPR’s U.S. network is comprised of its Soo Line subsidiary covering the Midwestern U.S. and the Delaware and Hudson Railway in the industrial northeast. These lines provide seamless direct service into key markets such as Chicago, Philadelphia and New York City. Interline alliances with U.S. partner railways extend CPR’s reach across the continental U.S. and into Mexico. The company’s head office is in Calgary, Alberta.
