Canadian Pacific anticipates adding more trains as a response to greater demand to move grain and grain products from western Canada. CP’s Dedicated Train Program (DTP), which was introduced last-crop year, provides customers with greater clarity and control of car supply to manage their supply chain.
In the 2014-2015 crop year, CP moved a record 276,154 carloads of Canadian grain and grain products from western Canadian origins, up from the previous record crop year of 2013-2014.
“CP is moving record amounts of grain from western Canada and approximately 70 percent of our grain operation is served by the DTP. The customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The DTP is based on the fact that the unit train shippers know their business the best – allowing them to determine origin, destination and to manage the velocity of their supply chain,” said John Brooks, CP’s Vice-President Sales and Marketing, Bulk.
