CPKC to remedy service disruptions impacting dwell times, switches
This story was originally published on Supply Chain Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Supply Chain Dive newsletter. Canadian Pacific Kansas City will update its inventory data and restore network fluidity as part of its plan to remedy service disruptions in the southern region of CPKC's network, per a June 20 report to the Surface Transportation Board. The railroad carrier has been facing technology changeover-related issues since the consolidation of CPKC's U.S. information technology systems on May 3, according to the report. Canadian Pacific merged with Kansas City Southern in 2023, creating a railway that connects the U.S. with Mexico and Canada. As part of the merger terms outlined in 2023, CPKC was to expand its network capacity and integrate its IT systems. In a June 17 letter addressed to CPKC, the board noted that its oversight data showed higher terminal dwell times at rail yards, slower average velocity and lower on-time performance as a result of the issues. STB further noted that customers were reporting elevated delays, missed switches and congestion issues. CPKC said it has been tackling problem areas since the date of the switchover to restore service levels. Data quality was a key issue for CPKC, driven by a difficulty to maintain accurate car inventories and up-to-date locations on railcars, per the document. Interchange data for some connecting carriers also experienced difficulties for cars being delivered to the railroad at legacy-KCS locations, since the processing required an extensive data rework. The data gaps meant that the necessary work orders could not be created until the data was re-worked manually. The issues then prompted congestion challenges at customer facilities and classification yards across the legacy-KCS network as railcards could not be properly processed. In turn, congestion was reflected in higher yard inventories, increased dwell times, lower train speeds and a surge in locomotive and crew resources to help keep traffic moving. Early instances of delays and congestion prompted a feedback loop, further exacerbating the situation. CPKC noted in the document that yard congestion made it more challenging to locate individual railcars routed for customer facilities, for instance. Service restoration efforts will fall into two broad categories, much of which has already been implemented, the railroad told the STB. First, CPKC will update inventory data so operating personnel and customers can generate waybills, which serve as a record of shipment origin, destination and other details. The railroad will also focus on restoring network fluidity after data gaps spurred during the IT system change compromised operations. To address data quality issues, CPKC has deployed cross-function 'SWAT-like' support teams composed of operations, IT, network support and marketing and sales experts. The teams were sent to several locations across the network facing issues, and worked with partners to improve the quality of submitted data for cars delivered to the legacy network by: Restoring missing car inventory data through field assessments of cards in yards and customer facilities across the legacy-KCS network. Assisting customers with re-billing railcars using correct fields and input data. Educating local operating personnel on how to properly use CPKC's IT systems and tablet interfaces to build and complete work orders and assignments. In terms of network fluidity, CPKC has: Routed railcars to bypass its Shreveport Yard in Louisiana, enabling Shreveport to focus on processing the backlog on the legacy-KCS network. Enabled personnel to use CPKC's legacy-CP portion of the network to help organize the delivery and pick up railcars at customer facilities. Embargoed railcars routed for customer facilities where the inventory of railcars precluded the receipt of additional cars. As of June 20, CPKC teams are focused on operations in the Artesia, Mississippi, area, where improvement is lagging, per the report. CPKC is also updating track identifications in complex terminal areas, including tracks initially used by customers for storage that were not properly marked in KCS's legacy management control system. Although CPKC stated that it is 'too early to offer firm predictions' regarding a full return to service, the carrier said operations should be fixed by mid-July. CPKC also reported that overall service levels have shown signs of improvement after efforts taken to stabilize operations since the transition. In addition to its monthly service metric reports, CPKC will submit a weekly report that logs recovery efforts and performance data to the Surface Transportation Board for as long as the service issues persist, per the statement.

Conservationists demand end to gravel extracton on B.C. creek
A coalition of conservation groups is calling on the federal and provincial governments to stop gravel extraction from a creek near Mission, B.C., saying it's destroying salmon habitats. The groups say gravel mining has lowered the level of Norrish Creek and its tributaries. Retired biologist John Werring said it was the sight of dead salmon dried up in teh creekbed last December that spurred him and others to try and figure out what was going on. Werring said he noticed the water level had been intentionally lowered by gravel extraction, work completed by the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railroad to protect a bridge there. 1:56 Anger and frustration in Fraser Valley over railway dredging of creek He suspects that caused the neighboring creek to dry out and damage the Fish Habitat….and over the past six months he's been pushing government to reveal what they know about the situation.

After months of frustration Werring and his colleagues have turned to the lawyers at Ecojustice for help. This week they sent demand letters to Victoria and Ottawa, alleging that the digging is being done without a provincial permit and goes beyond the scope of work authorized by the federal government. 2:08 Gravel removal blamed for salmon habitat damage near Mission They say that's destroying the spawning habitat of tens of thousands of salmon, and drastically altering water levels that are vital to the survival of wild chum and coho. They accuse the company of expanding its operations without provincial approval and beyond the scope of its federal permission. Story continues below advertisement 'Massive amounts of gravel have been extracted, hundreds of meters upstream and hundreds of meters downstream of the bridges that are supposed to be protected,' Werring said. Fisheries and Oceans Canada wasn't able to respond in time for this report. The provincial Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship said it had not given any permits for gravel removal on Norrish Creek, and that they have forwarded complaints to the federal agency. Werring said given that his group involves professional biologists, getting anwsers will be a daunting task for anyone else. ' If we're facing that, one has to wonder like, what about the public if they want to get involved in something like this?' he asked.

Bow Valley wildlife still benefiting from 2002 Kananaskis G8 summit
Twenty-three years after world leaders gathered in Kananaskis, cougars, bears and deer are traversing the Bow Valley more safely thanks to a legacy of that G8 meeting. Article content To honour the G8's host community, the federal government devoted $5 million administered by Parks Canada to enhance wilderness conservation, with $2 million of that going to hands-on projects. Article content Article content Article content 'I searched around to try to find a contact and told them we'd be interested,' said Calgarian Patricia Letizia, who was then the executive director of Alberta Eco Trust. Article content Article content Helped by a private and anonymous $250,000 donation, the group and a host of partners set about constructing a wildlife bridge over the Rundle Canal above Canmore. Article content At that time, Canadian Pacific donated the bed of an old train car to use as the deck of the 14.8-metre-wide span, she said. Article content 'We did in fact build a bridge over the Rundle Canal and we had enough left over to afford an underpass at Dead Man's Flats,' said Letizia, who retired as Ecotrust CEO last December. Article content Both crossings — which were completed by the end of 2004 — were designed to ease wildlife transit from Banff National Park into the lower Bow Valley and Kananaskis. With lower animal mortality, both structures have proven their worth, said Letizia. Article content Article content 'It was at a point of the (Trans-Canada) Highway where there were a lot of wildlife collisions,' she said. 'Not all animals have the same kind of behaviour and the underpass would be used primarily by small animals, though some cougars and bears have been detected.' Article content Article content But that wasn't the end of the G8 legacy funds. Nearly $200,000 remained and were eventually disbursed between five conservation organizations. Article content Those receiving grants were the Biosphere Institute for the Bow Valley, the Karelian Bear Shepherding Institute of Canada, the Miistakis Institute for the Rockies, Bow Valley WildSmart and the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative. Article content 'We really urged them to work collectively on large-impact issues, and it was a lot of fun collaborating,' said Letizia.
