Piggyback Freight Trains

New Modes
To fulfill its role in the Bow Smart Mobility Partnership...

the Canadian Pacific Railway will continue to implement measures to minimize traffic and impacts within the Bow Corridor.

For years CP Rail has operated double-stacked container trains through the Bow Corridor which carry long-haul intermodal freight that would otherwise move by truck. In Eastern Canada, CP has operated its Expressway piggyback service that allows truck trailers to be driven onto flatcars at convenient highway locations that are independent of conventional intermodal facilities. Until now there has not been sufficient truck traffic to support short-haul piggyback operations through the Corridor.
