Rail never stops and neither do our railroaders. 🚂

Day and night, in every season, our team is out there keeping goods moving, communities connected and supply chains strong.

Their 24/7 dedication keeps CPKC running and North America’s economy moving forward.

CPKC's Superior Tie & Timber tie plant in Vivian, La., produces thousands of railroad ties every week, providing this essential track component to engineering crews across our 20,000-mile network.

For 18 years, Terrance Stromile has worked at the plant, today as an equipment operator, playing an important role at the beginning of a materials supply chain that makes it possible to build and maintain the high-quality track infrastructure critical to keeping our trains moving safely and efficiently.

Watch to learn more about Terrance, one of our across America, and the work he does supporting our North American freight operations.

Whether you're walking, biking or driving to school, always cross railway tracks at designated crossings.

Taking a shortcut across tracks isn't just risky — it's illegal and can have severe life-changing consequences.

Let's pledge to keep our school year safe and tragedy-free.

With more than 20,000 miles of rail network across North America, emergency preparedness depends on strong relationships.

That’s why CPKC’s HazMat team dedicates thousands of hours each year to training and outreach with local contractors, first responders and community officials. These efforts help build the skills and coordination needed to respond quickly and effectively when an incident occurs.

By bringing together contractors, emergency responders and CPKC experts, these events foster collaboration and a shared commitment to safety.

As Travis Johnson of High Country Vac Services puts it: “We get to learn from other contractors and first responders as well. It helps facilitate a culture of safety.”

Each year, CPKC’s HazMat team participates in more than 200 emergency response training events, engaging over 8,000 first responders and community officials across North America.

Watch the video to hear how these relationships are helping strengthen rail safety across the CPKC network.
