A photo isn’t worth the risk. 📸

It’s never safe to take pictures on train tracks, railway bridges or any railway property — including the right-of-way, which can extend up to 50 feet or 15 metres from the tracks.

Trains are faster and quieter than you think. Always stay off train tracks, follow all railway signs and only cross at designated crossings. Stay alert and stay safe!

Last month, CPKC hosted first responders at our Ogden Campus in Calgary for a national Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response (TRANSCAER) training event designed to provide them the knowledge and skills to protect their communities effectively during a rail emergency.

Led by the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada and the Railway Association of Canada (RAC), TRANSCAER partners with municipalities, local first responders and community residents along key transportation routes.

“These training sessions allow us to have a unique local flavour and it allows first responders to engage with the equipment and the HazMat personnel at their own speed,” said Chris Miller, Emergency Management and HazMat Officer.

CPKC participates in more than 200 emergency response training events each year to share our expertise while collaborating and building trust with 8,000+ first responders in communities across our network.

What is CPKC’s Broken Rail Detection Technology?

It’s real-time, data-driven track monitoring using an electrical circuit. If the rail is intact, the circuit is complete. If it’s broken, the circuit is open.

Data comes in every ten minutes, so we quickly assess and identify broken rails to keep trains safe and moving.

New machine learning algorithms reduced false positive detections by 45%. Ongoing enhancements to this in-house innovation are a key reason why CPKC continues to lead in safety.

That’s innovation in action.

Last week, we joined in with the city of El Campo for its third Annual Touch-a-Truck event.

CPKC proudly brought one of our hi-rail trucks, which stood alongside an impressive lineup of different vehicles, including police cars, fire trucks and so much more. Community members and families enjoyed the chance to get up close, climb inside, and learn about the truck's crucial role in keeping our railway running safely and efficiently.

These trucks use state-of-the-art ultrasonic induction systems to detect internal rail flaws. Operators mark the defective locations and relay that to the engineering maintenance team to change out the rails.

Thank you to the city of El Campo for welcoming us to this fantastic community event.

This week, the team traveled to Taiwan and visited the headquarters of Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. and Evergreen Line, two of the largest container shipping lines in the world.

President and CEO Keith Creel personally thanked Yang Ming President Kevin Lee and his senior leadership team for trusting CPKC to earn their business every day and to celebrate our recent contract extension.

Evergreen became a CPKC customer in 2018 and over the past eight years we have earned their trust to become the shipping line’s strategic rail partner in Canada, and now with our three-nation network, the only Evergreen rail partner with direct reach into Canada, the United States and Mexico. Mr. Creel thanked Evergreen President Kuang-hui Wu for the honor of moving their freight across North America.

Mr. Creel gifted models of a CPKC locomotive to Mr. Lee and Mr. Wu in celebration of the enduring business relationships that continue to grow together, while receiving vessel models in return from both company presidents.

“Congratulations to the CPKC commercial and operating teams that create value in the marketplace every day for our strategic partners like Yang Ming and Evergreen,” said Mr. Creel, who was accompanied by CPKC commercial team members Jordan Kajfasz, Misha Murakami and W***y Wang. “When our customers win in the marketplace on the wheels of our network, we win too.”

These successes are made possible by the strength of our 20,000 CPKC railroaders and unrivalled network connecting all three countries.
