Railways

Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and Canadian National Railway (CN) are Canada's two major freight railways.

CP, which moved its head office to Calgary in 1996, recently opened a new intermodal facility that gives unparalleled access to western Canadian, American and Mexican markets: 50,000 rail cars a week pass through the facility with more predicted for the future. CP's Automotive Compound and its Reload Centre Network Management Centre are also located in Calgary. These facilities utilize innovative technology and communication systems to track the movement of goods to ensure their timely delivery.

Calgary is home to CN's third-largest intermodal terminal in Canada, which provides cargo access to an extensive rail network throughout North America.

CP and CN's rail networks offer significant advantages to Calgary companies, especially to companies seeking an integrated solution for redistributing of their products in North America.
