The Scope of Passenger Rail on CP

33,000 passenger trains operate each year on CP

17,000,000 passengers are carried safely to their destination on these trains

CP approaches passenger rail as a business partner

Our key challenge is to provide safe and reliable service while protecting our current and future freight capacity

We see effective partnerships with passenger and governmental agencies as the essential ingredient to achieve our respective goals


Where do passenger trains operate on CP?

Mingled with freights are three types of passenger train operations:

Urban Commuter

Inter-City Service

Luxury Cruise Train

The art is to conceive infrastructure that supports both types of service

Milwaukee

Sudbury

White River

New York State Passenger Service

Working with Amtrak and NY DOT to improve Service A Passenger Public Private Partnership:


I-87 CORRIDOR NY CITY - MONTREAL


CP & THE I-87 CORRIDOR Linking Eastern Canada with Northeast U.S. population centers the I-87 corridor is a major conduit

for freight and people It provides direct access between Montreal, New York and Philadelphia Freight:

• The Champlain border crossing is one of the busiest in North America

• CP alone handles over 61,000 revenue loads per year over it CP is host to Amtrak:

• Adirondack - New York City to Montreal btw Schenectady & Rouses Point

• Ethan Allen – New York City to Rutland btw Schenectady & Whitehall Paralleling I-87 the CP Canadian Mainline was recognized by NYSDOT as a priority North/South

corridor for trade and passenger movements. Service over the Canadian Main has been a challenge. The State’s ongoing support has been a

vital element of its survival through many crises and CPR values its partnership with New York.


PPP 2003 - 2005

Between 2003-2005, a PPP with NY State enabled a $20 million improvement program on the rail network between the border and Saratoga.

The scope:•$5.3 M - Improvements to rail & signal

•$5.9 M – New Saratoga Passenger Station

•$3.4 M – Second Generation Double Stack Clearances

•$2.7 M – Improved Signal & Communications

•$2.0 M – Sale of the Adirondack Branch

•$1.3 M – Saratoga Crossovers and track rehab


PPP 2006 - 2009

Despite the improvements brought about by the prior program increasing GTM’s over the line brought about increased deterioration. Most significant areas of concern in the corridor were:• Need for track rehabilitation on 68 miles of old, light, jointed rail• Need for more and longer sidings to handle new traffic, longer and more frequent

trains and avoid passenger conflicts

In 2006 CP and NY DOT embarked on another PPP • For every $ CP put into the Canadian Main for new welded rail NY would match it.• Since that time over $20 M in new welded rail has been installed

This program installed close to 50 miles of 68 miles noted above. It brought about the additional benefit of freeing up CP capital $ which allowed us to construct a new 10,000’ siding at Rockland, NY and extend the Rouses Point siding from 5,000’ to 11,000’. Thus addressing much of our capacity issues.

We are currently working with Amtrak on the service issues. Increased focus coupled with these infrastructure improvements will make a big difference


Canadian Pacific values our relationships with the various agencies, Amtrak and Via. We look forward to working

together in the future.

Thank you.
