It’s amazing to see how our CPKC values of Accountability, Diversity and Pride are eloquently displayed throughout our new livery. This new and improved visual identity will have a mark on this company and the Railroading Industry as a whole for years to come. You can clearly see us celebrating our Diversity by proudly showcasing the American, Canadian and Mexican Flags. This is something that can not be mimicked or repeated. It is true to who we are and who we will continue to be moving forward. It is an identity that is unmatched. Pride in the fact that this final design was picked by the people making it happen every single day here at work. Every CPKC employee had the opportunity to voice their opinion and have a say in what our future looks like. Last and certainly not least, Accountability. Accountability in the sense that these three nations are putting their trust in the work we do daily. Accountability in the form of our customers and shareholders who demand service excellence and lastly, accountability to those who came before us and for those who are destined to join us in years to come… to never forget where we came from and continue to build this company to its true potential.

that's so brilliant

A solid example of how being prepared and flexible pays off. Do your systems and processes have you in a state of readiness?

I can confirm that everything is bigger in Texas. For example, did you know that Dallas Fort Worth International Airport covers an area larger than Manhattan? (17,207 acres / 26.89 square miles / 69.63 square kilometers, to be precise.) Many of the highways have six wide lanes, and there are turnpikes galore! Understanding the mammoth scale of a lot of the US infrastructure helps us understand why a lot of it has not been upgraded since the 1970s, more than fifty years ago. What is clear though is that the time seems to be now; many upgrades are in progress across the country, with some already completed. (Newark and LaGuardia airports are very visible examples of this.) Regardless of the election results, it looks like this path will still continue, with a big focus on more efficient infrastructure. There is no doubt that there are opportunities there. Speaking of upgraded infrastructure, it was wonderful to visit the relatively new Dallas office amidst many engaging meetings with advisors and institutions. Note to self: don't visit Texas in August again! (over 100 F / 40 C) 🌡️ 🥵 Dixie Green Rose Lord Mary Wallace #dwsambassador #xtrackers #togetherwegrow #usgreeninfra #texas

Kicked off #InfrastructureWeek with more progress along the Northeast Corridor! FRA Administrator Amit Bose was proud to join representatives from New Jersey, New York, Amtrak, and U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) yesterday to mark 50% completion on the new Portal North Bridge, a project that will reduce disruptions and delays while increasing train speeds, reliability, and safety.   Once complete, the Portal North Bridge will no longer be known as a major chokepoint on the Northeast Corridor but rather as the link connecting people and communities across the East Coast. Funding from several USDOT programs over many years is helping to replace the current bridge.   At 114-year-old, the current swing bridge is one of several bridges and tunnels along the Northeast Corridor that are over a century old. Thanks to President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are finally making progress to replace and upgrade these aging structures. Last November, FRA announced more than $16 billion in FRA Fed State-NEC grants for 25 projects of national significance to modernize and improve America's busiest passenger rail corridor.
