From the latest earnings call
- Chief Commercial Officer John said CPKC expects grain demand to continue through Q3 and coal’s revenue impact to ease progressively toward year-end.
- CEO Keith Creel said the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger would reduce competitive options, although the supplemental submission addressed certain terminal-control concerns.

Canadian Pacific Kansas City, or CPKC, operates a freight railway connecting Canada, the United States and Mexico. It sells transportation to businesses that need to move commodities, industrial products, vehicles and consumer goods. Its network serves business centres across all three countries.
A shipper can use CPKC to move bulk goods such as grain or coal, merchandise such as chemicals or finished vehicles, or containers carrying retail and other products. Bulk traffic often travels in a dedicated train from one origin to one destination. Merchandise can travel on mixed freight trains or dedicated trains, while intermodal service moves containers by rail as part of a journey that can also include a truck or ship.
