CPKC is the combination of two historic railways – Canadian Pacific (CP) and
Kansas City Southern (KCS). Founded in 1881, Canadian Pacific Railway was
formed to unite Canada from coast to coast and grew to reach the U.S.
Midwest and beyond with direct links to major ports on the West and East
coasts. Established in 1887, Kansas City Southern began as a belt railroad in
Kansas City, Mo. and grew to become a vital north-south rail link providing
customers with cross-border service between the U.S. and Mexico. In 2023,
CPKC made history by creating the first and only transnational railway that
connects Canada, the U.S. and Mexico with unrivaled cross-border services
and port access. Drawing on our strong foundations and heritage, CPKC moves
essential goods across our 20,000-mile network to support economic growth
throughout Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.
