Calgary’s two major freight railways – Canadian Pacific (CP) and Canadian National (CN) – move products and services through Calgary to markets all over North America.

Canadian Pacific, which moved its head office from Montreal to Calgary in 1996, recently opened a new facility that moves some 50,000 rail cars a week to markets in western Canada, the United States and Mexico.
