CP Rail plans massive Rogers Pass rail expansion project
CP Rail seeks approval from the Canadian Transport Commission to build a 10 mile tunnel system and 21 miles of new main line through Rogers Pass in British Columbia. The C$500 million plan spans four years, adds 11 bridges, and boosts capacity to move coal, sulphur, potash and grain to the Pacific. The project aims to alleviate a major bottleneck between Calgary and Vancouver and be part of a decade of capital investments, contingent on resolving grain revenue losses.
