CP

Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited is a transcontinental railway formed through the 2023 merger of Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern, creating the first single-line rail network connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The company operates rail infrastructure spanning three countries, transporting grain, coal, potash, intermodal containers, automotive products, chemicals, forest products, and other freight. CPKC provides direct rail service from Canadian ports and production centers through the U.S. Midwest to Mexican manufacturing centers and ports, offering unique north-south routing. The combined company benefits from the USMCA trade agreement driving cross-border trade and nearshoring trends. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, CPKC operates approximately 20,000 miles of rail network following the transformational merger. The company faces integration challenges, regulatory requirements across three countries, labor relations, economic sensitivity affecting freight volumes, and competition from other transportation modes. CPKC emphasizes Precision Scheduled Railroading to drive operational efficiency and service quality. The company continues to integrate operations, invest in infrastructure, pursue merger synergies, and capitalize on North American trade opportunities.
