Maybe you don’t have any desire to move into management, or take on a senior role, but if you understand how CP leadership thinks, what their goals are, and how they want to achieve those goals, you’ll have a better idea of what’s expected of you and how you can succeed at CP. When you see a leadership theme in some of these articles, don’t think it doesn’t apply to you. President and Chief Operating Officer Keith Creel says that for CP to succeed, “Individually, every employee must model an attitude of personal ownership and accountability.” Senior Vice-president Operations System Scott MacDonald recently shared about a situation where his management team chose to own a situation instead of accepting the norm and making excuses. A facility in the network was resisting change and justifying old ways of doing things, such as using expensive Trackmobile® vehicles to move bad-order cars in and out of repair track areas, when they could just as easily have used a locomotive. “There was a sense of entitlement,” says Scott. “We could have accepted the justifications and tried to sell those

ideas up the leadership chain. Instead, we decided to look for ways around using the Trackmobile, and guess what? We found a way. And while we were at it, we also identified several buildings that were no longer necessary, and a few other areas where we could behave more efficiently.” The result? Scott and his team found there was room for improvement where people didn’t initially see it; improvements that saved CP several hundreds of thousands of dollars. “Everyone who helped us identify room for efficiencies set an example in that yard and took on a bit of a leadership role. We need that to happen everywhere.” Noted American author Tom Peters says, “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders.” That sums up a big part of the new CP, don’t you think?

HOME Line of Business

In respect to media scrutiny, government tactics and a historically cold, snowy winter, CP’s Canadian grain business has been...a bit grainy. Grainy, like an old photo where the lines are not as defined as you’d like; the blurry areas are fuzzy enough to be irritating. Yet one thing is clear: CP employees have been relentless in their efforts to deliver service in spite of a historic winter. The buzz around grain freight has been understandable. Grain is vital to so many elements of daily life, not to mention, this year’s harvest was 37 per cent larger than the five-year average. The result is extreme pressure on the entire supply chain—farmers demanded

service for an extra 20 million metric tonnes (MMT) more grain—on top of the 30–34 MMT that Canadian railroads typically move in a crop year. The reality is, this is a year where your hard work enabled CP to move more grain and oilseed than anything else. Grain is CP’s single largest commodity. The challenge has been explaining this to Canadian federal regulators, who have been quick to pass legislation forcing railroads to move a set amount of grain weekly, or face steep fines. It is important to understand that this is not a singlecomponent supply chain. The grain is shipped in a truck, elevated in rural regions, moved to port by rail and is loaded on a ship by a port terminal operator. If the regulations don’t apply to everyone involved, it’s hard to expect that operations will be very effective.

Weathering the winter The 2013 – 14 grain season got off to a strong enough start. During fall 2013 and early winter 2014, CP shipped more than 20 per cent more grain than ever before. That’s when winter came knocking with force. The early part of 2014 was exceptional, with 49 days below -25 degrees Celsius. In fact, the Canadian Prairies faced the coldest December/January in more than 60 years. That region generally expects only 25 days below -25. Certain U.S. regions faced similar challenges.

HOME Line of Business

Going public Chief Executive Officer Hunter Harrison was so unimpressed with the unbalanced public scrutiny that he released an open letter in The Globe and Mail and National Post to “provide some context.” “I’ll be the first to admit that our usual service levels aren’t being met during this period when all commodities in the entire supply chain are impacted by this brutal weather,” wrote Mr. Harrison. “Despite this, the women and men of CP remain on the job 24/7, exposed to this weather as they keep the railway operating even while, in some cases, grain elevators have temporarily suspended loading operations.” In March, Keith Creel echoed Mr. Harrison’s comments to defend CP’s efforts in front of the Government of Canada’s Standing Committee on Agriculture. “If the supply chain is to do better we need to find a collaborative approach in the near term and create, in the longer term, capacity in the grain supply chain,” adds Keith. “This is how we will ultimately benefit the farming community and the Canadian economy.”  

The GATEWAY

“Now, we’re dealing with challenges in real time. Not only has that helped us stay on top of things, we’re learning as we go.” Ben also oversees Keith Yard, a small Calgary terminal yard northwest of Alyth Yard, with mobile air plants and railcar mechanics positioned to help speed up the processing of grain trains. “A lot of grain cars pass through that yard,” adds Ben, pointing out that the Calgary terminal’s operating plan has enabled increased velocity through its yards, creating capacity gains that support both grain and potash movements. Those types of efforts have gone on throughout the network this past year, a sign of a new era and a new attitude at CP.

The take-away In spite of the headlines, a lot of hard work has gone into enabling CP to move an average of 32 grain trains a day, seven days a week, in each of the key grain corridors. “That’s something everyone should be proud of,” Keith says. “It sure wasn’t easy.”

Eighty-two per cent of Canada’s crop comes from farmland in the Prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Canadian Pacific moves that grain for domestic U.S. and Canadian use, but also moves it to the ports of Vancouver, Thunder Bay, Montréal and Québec City, where it is loaded onto ships bound for worldwide destinations.

HOME BUILDING OUR BRAND

Our company’s name remains Canadian Pacific. However, our logo going forward will illustrate a simple “CP.” Our company’s operations extend beyond Canadian borders, so this logo is more inclusive. It’s also simpler. Simplicity is strength. Shortening our name provides consistency and ease of use for our stakeholders around the world. As a logomark, it demonstrates a bolder presence among our industry peers and other top corporations, reinforcing the strength of our five Foundations and our confidence. Its presence and style reflect CP’s current culture, which is defined by hard work, accountability and a commitment to customer service; doing what we say we will do, in all we do. As we tell the unfolding story of becoming the best, we start with a brand position and a strong logo—the logo on the front of the engines that drive our company.

We are all railroaders Canadian Pacific is a stronger company because all employees, no matter the region or the division, are united in their approach. Similarly, a strong brand relies on one voice. Canadian Pacific is strengthening its brand by telling the company’s story to different audiences and by different means, but always with a consistent tone, theme and personality. The story is focused on precision and strength, is genuine and enforces accountability.

Where WILL IT BE SEEN? You will see the new CP logo on all marketing materials, rolled out in stages for signage, the website, stationery, safety equipment, company vehicles and most other applications. Some exceptions will include the side logo application on newly painted locomotives and the illuminated sign on the front of Ogden headquarters. In those locations the logo will remain as Canadian Pacific. The new CP logo and the complete brand book outlining the standards can be downloaded from RailCity.

OUR BRAND POSITION We have a railroader philosophy. It doesn’t change. It’s made of a metal that doesn’t bend, melt or dent. All CP railroaders should have this attitude of pride when doing their jobs, using the five Foundations as guidelines. We extend this perspective to our entire business; not just rail, but road, water and logistics. We’re applying this philosophy to new technologies and advancements that will improve our service. The attitude is simple. And like anything pure, it’s also the strongest. That’s why customers depend on us to not only get their goods delivered, but to grow their business.

Canadian Pacific President and Chief Operating Officer Keith Creel.

The National Hockey League’s (NHL) Chicago Blackhawks have been the only team in the last decade to win the Stanley Cup® twice (at the time this article was written they were in the running for their third). What makes that success special and comparable to Canadian Pacific’s transformation is not where the Blackhawks are at, so much as where they’ve come from. Ten years ago, the Blackhawks missed finishing dead last in the league by a single point. They hadn’t won a championship since 1961 and it seemed as if mediocrity was becoming acceptable—expected even—for the once great Original Six NHL franchise. In 2007, a dramatic leadership change fuelled a rarely seen turnaround that catapulted the Blackhawks from embarrassment of the league to toast of the league. But that turnaround wasn’t because of one or two all-stars stepping up. One of the big contributing factors to the Blackhawks’ new-found success was the new culture—one of leadership and an expectation of individual excellence within the team culture—from each and every player. This past season, no team other than the Blackhawks had more players score 25 or more points. With that type of production throughout the roster, it’s no wonder the Blackhawks have become a respected powerhouse. Blackhawks General Manager Stan Bowman is on record as saying: “We have loads of leaders on this team, but I don’t think you can ever have too much of that.” Fellow Blackhawks Senior Advisor Scott Bowman, literally the winningest man in the history of hockey (having been involved in 13 championshipwinning teams during his career) points out that a captain’s effort may be extraordinary, but it’s still only the effort of one person. “Teams need all types of leaders,” he says.

Sound Familiar? This is the same message Chief Executive Officer Hunter Harrison, and President and Chief Operating Officer Keith Creel have been preaching since their respective arrivals at CP. While the past year was about process improvement and efficiency, particularly in operations, a major focus for this year will be to develop leaders and create a culture of excellence. CP needs people who are willing to go the extra mile whether someone’s watching or not; people willing to set an example no matter their job title. “There’s no I in team, but there’s an I in win,” says Keith. “Without individual efforts, we don’t have success as a team. “Some people believe exceptional individual efforts are counterproductive. Well, I believe that who our individuals are and what they do matters.”

10 CANADIAN PACIFIC MAGAZINE

CP leadership wants its teams not only to achieve excellence, but to expect it. “It’s not like CP has not had solid leaders before,” says Keith. “But the people here definitely weren’t held accountable to standards of railroading excellence in all that we did.” Keith, who comes from a military background, explains that people live up to the expectations placed on them. “The level of performance you receive as a leader is directly connected to the level of performance you demonstrate you’re willing to accept. I firmly believe that our team of railroaders is capable of delivering great results. We’re already seeing that.

“Hunter and I want every CP employee to develop and achieve their full potential during their railroading career, regardless of the job for which they are originally hired.” What level of performance is expected? To become a high-performance culture, a culture of excellence. Hunter and Keith have announced that they expect CP to improve its operating ratio to 65 by 2016. And they expect CP to grow revenue by six to seven per cent in 2014. This isn’t just about cutting spending or trimming assets, it’s about the people of this organization stepping up to the plate and making a difference. If you will be a leader for your shift, your crew or team, and make decisions based on our five Foundations (Provide Service, Contain Costs, Utilize Assets, Operate Safely and Develop People), CP will achieve these goals and ultimately, you will reap the benefits.

HOME

HIGH-PERFORMANCE

Vice-president Human Resources and Industrial Relations Peter Edwards says that high performance is something that begins with leadership. “We should never do something simply because we used to do it,” says Peter. “Create change, create improvement—that’s what leaders do—always look for a new way to do something. Don’t be afraid to bust it up. “Every one of us can impact CP’s culture and its success. We all have to make a choice. Are we going to be a positive leader or a negative leader?” Peter refers to the ABCs as the key to unlocking a high-performance culture. The ABCs are born from how you manage moments when a decision is necessary. “Are you going to do things the way they’ve always been done? Turn a blind eye to something that should be done differently? Try doing something safer, more efficiently or more thoroughly? “The answers to these questions separate those willing to be a leader from those who aren’t.” ABC: A stands for antecedent. This sounds like bad medicine, but it’s a fancy word used to refer to a cause. B stands for behaviour. C stands for consequence—positive or negative. Here’s an example: If someone chooses to steal from the company, they run the risk of losing their job. If someone finds an extraordinary way to save the company money in their day-to-day role, they might be rewarded with a trip for two to a five-star resort, like those recently recognized at the inaugural CP’s CEO Award of Excellence ceremony (see page 32 to read about some of this year’s winners). It’s up to you to decide if you are going to be a leader when you do your job or while representing CP in the community. But one thing is certain: you don’t have to be in management to be a leader. “True leaders make the right decision when nobody is watching. That’s the concept our culture needs to demonstrate,” says Hunter. CANADIAN PACIFIC MAGAZINE 11

Moose Jaw Yard is not located in a thriving metropolis; it doesn’t have a booming business corridor and other than the noise coming from the local stock yard, it gets pretty quiet after sundown (although it was infamously once a part of Al Capone’s smuggling operations). What Moose Jaw does have is one of the most vital yards in Canadian Pacific’s network. The main line runs right through the yard, the 24/7 yard sees approximately 2,600 cars a day and the nearly 500 employees working out of Moose Jaw have the character, determination and passion to keep those cars moving. Moose Jaw may or may not be on the short list for your next vacation, but don’t underestimate its importance to CP’s business, or the quality of the people who work and live there. In 2013, Moose Jaw was one of CP’s most efficient terminals in each of the key categories found on the Terminal Score Card, and the terminal continues to deliver standard-setting results in 2014.

business previously recognized by Loblaws as the best way to move refrigerated products across the country.” That includes dairy. And CP ships both Danone® and Yoplait® yogurt across Canada for Loblaws, using a fleet of 500 modern refrigerated containers known as reefers. “CP moves 20,000 containers of Loblaws product across the network annually. On a daily basis we’re picking up five 53-foot containers packed with yogurt,” explains Paul. And it all starts with an order Loblaws transmits to CP via an electronic data interchange (EDI). This is how it happens:

After ensuring the reefer is fit to ship the product, the truck, known as a “dray agent” is hooked up to the 53-foot container and heads for Loblaws’ Robert facility in Lachine, Montréal, where it is loaded with the yogurt, before being delivered to the Lachine terminal.

The containers are in-gated at the terminal and trucked directly to the train for loading, where a lifter sets them onto Train 113 consigned to Calgary and Vancouver. Once loaded onto the train, reefers are connected to a generator with a series of cables.

All shipment appointments are managed once the train departs Lachine. To ensure timely delivery, CP Logistics provides proactive day-to-day shipment management and communications regarding all Loblaws’ shipments.

TERMINAL, LACHINE, MONTRÉAL DID YOU KNOW? Train 113 spends the next two days cutting across the main line before arriving in Calgary the morning of the fourth day. It arrives in Vancouver 24 hours later, offering the fastest service on the market. This train switches cars at Vaughan, Winnipeg and Regina en route to Calgary. Currently, 13 crews are required to transport the 133 from Lachine to Calgary.

The Canadian Pacific Operations Centre (OC) in Calgary is home to all the Canadian train control functions and transportation planning groups. However, most people are unaware of this hushed, softly lit, tightly wound room. Located at the core of the Ogden corporate offices, the pass-card protected OC runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, connecting headquarters to the field.

Telephones ring constantly. Radio towers are activated on consoles, buttons are pressed and signals are lined thousands of miles away. Teams of OC employees dispatch trains, call crews, plan the distribution of locomotives, coordinate track work programs, monitor yard arrivals, departures and traffic levels, and ensure that the planning is keeping pace with customer commitments. They also control manifest information, liaise with marketing and sales and the Network

Service Centre on problem resolution, and become the hub for any emergency response coordination, should an incident occur on our network. At the heart of the OC is the rail traffic controller (RTC). This job (formerly train dispatcher) is the direct link between office and field. An RTC oversees one or more subdivisions and controls all train and engine movements within that territory. “The OC could best be described as the central nervous system of our

The challenges presented within an eight-hour RTC shift can be as wide as the network itself. While B.C. may be dealing with record snowfall, the Canadian Prairies are managing

On a single subdivision during a single shift you can see issues with switches and signals, trains that cannot recover their air, hot box detector set-offs, track work that cannot clear for trains on time, slow orders, power issues, incorrect consists or missing cars, blocked culverts, avalanche control and congestion on line. The list can seem endless. During these moments the focus is on the best and most direct solution for resolving the issue at hand.

HOME ADVICE FOR THE ROOKIE

Advice for the

ROOKIE

With so many employees retiring, and more and more new hires coming into the fold, Iowa-based conductor Brian Clifton believes that passing along knowledge and experience is more important than ever.

28 CANADIAN PACIFIC MAGAZINE

When it comes to training the next generation of railroaders, CP needs you. The knowledge and experience you’ve built is of value to us all. When you share that experience with new railroaders, you make CP a safer and more productive railroad. One CP employee who takes that transfer of knowledge to heart is Brian Clifton, a conductor based at Nahant Yard near Davenport, Iowa. Trainmaster Shawn Jefford says he relies on Brian as a trainer. “He is well-tempered and able to work with all personalities,” Shawn says. “He is knowledgeable of not only rules and regulations, but also the operations.” Brian, who started with CP predecessor I&M Rail Link in August 1999, says new hires need to focus on learning the rules and how to apply them. “In my opinion, they should know the rules as best as possible and keep up on them. Training is their biggest asset.” He adds that hands-on exposure to the yards and routes they’ll be working is critical to performing their jobs safely. What’s the number 1 piece of advice Brian gives to trainees? “Don’t hurry. That gets people in trouble more than anything on the railroad.” For others mentoring new hires, Brian is quick to share his philosophy as well: “As far as I’m concerned, I’m going to have to work with these guys in the future. And, we can train these up-and-comers to operate safely for the benefit of everyone.” Through mentorship and training, Brian hopes to ensure that the next generation of railroaders contributes to a safe work environment.

Animal

HOUSE In children’s books, the story always has a happy ending: A smart, loyal dog who’s spent months in a shelter is adopted by a child who proves to be a soulmate. In real life, half of all shelter dogs and 7 out of 10 shelter cats will be euthanized. Chris and Chrissie Zarozny take a hands-on approach when it comes to saving as many of these animals as they can. Chris is a trainmaster at CP’s Bensenville Yard near Chicago, while Chrissie works in administration at a veterinary office in Plainfield, Ill., which operates five non-profit animal shelters in the area. “It’s more than a hobby,” says Chris. “Animal care means a lot to us.” Chris’ love for animals began when he was a child growing up in Poland. His family had a mixed-breed dog named Czila. When Chris was 12, his family

emigrated to the U.S., but had to leave Czila behind. Chris did not forget his friend, or his love for animals. Years later, he and his soon-to-be wife, Chrissie, bonded over a shared love for animals. The Zarozny’s have taken in dogs, cats and even “exotics”; a category that includes reptiles, rabbits and ferrets. Chrissie’s background includes training as a nurse, and for animals needing extra care, the Zarozny home often becomes a short-term care clinic. At the five Help Save Pets shelters, where Chrissie oversees intake, every possible option is looked at to extend an animal’s life.

“We’ve had 15-year-old dogs with medical issues that we’ve found the perfect owner for,” she says. The Help Save Pets shelters take in animals as a result of different circumstances: high-kill shelters, puppy mills, people who can no longer care for their pets, and strays. Some find new homes quickly, and some require extra effort. “It’s amazing how animal lovers pull together on Facebook,” Chrissie says. On Facebook®, Chris and Chrissie have discovered animals, sometimes in other states, that are victims of cruelty and need a home. They quickly put the word out: Can anyone take this animal? Sometimes it’s as far-flung a connection as a co-worker’s friend’s uncle. The couple also organizes fundraisers and donates to the ASPCA® and other humane-related causes for animals. They have two Great Danes and a toddler who is already enjoying the full benefits of growing up amidst furry, critter foster care. Perhaps everyone who does charity work wrestles with the question: “Can I really make a difference when this problem seems so overwhelming?” For Chris and Chrissie, the answer is yes. Chris is clear about his motivation. “A neglected dog will never be able to tell his story,” he says. “They can’t speak for themselves. They need people like us to get the message out.”

MAKE A DONATION Canadian Pacific matches a portion of all employee donations to the ASPCA through its Giving Engine. For more details, search “Giving Engine” on RailCity. For more information on the ASPCA and volunteering for animalrelated causes, visit www.aspca.org.

HOME ACROSS THE NETWORK

on the road It’s not every day you get to sit down for two to three hours with the president of the company, hear what he has to say and more importantly, tell him what you think. Earlier this spring, President and Chief Operating Officer Keith Creel hit the road along with Senior Vice-president Western Region Guido DeCiccio, Vice-president Human Resources and Industrial Relations Peter Edwards, and Assistant Vice-president Labour Relations Myron Becker, to begin a direct discussion with CP’s front lines. Senior leadership aims to conduct several front-line town halls each year to give some direction on where the company is going, and to get some direct feedback. “It’s not often you get to sit down in a fairly small room and talk to the president one-on-one,” said Rickhi Misra, assistant superintendent, operations, Alberta North. “At the Alyth Town Hall in Calgary, people seemed a little nervous at first. But as soon as one person spoke up there was a flood of questions. “I think both the running trades guys and leadership team appreciated the chance to speak openly with each other in an informal setting. To be honest, it was comforting to see that the executive panel was able to discuss achieving work-life balance by fulfilling our roles as parents and not just as providers. The Town Hall provided great personal insight, which

30 CANADIAN PACIFIC MAGAZINE

I know people appreciated due to the sacrifices made on the home front.” The Western Canadian leg of the tour included stops in Moose Jaw, Calgary, Cranbrook and Vancouver. Jason Inglis, assistant superintendent, Saskatchewan South, said the Moose Jaw Town Hall was spirited. “The employees who attended the Moose Jaw Town Hall definitely took advantage of the opportunity to speak directly. And both sides actually seemed to welcome it. “That was the great thing about it. The initial presentation was interesting and provided a valuable overview, but the Q&A was the meat and potatoes. That’s a rare opportunity, and people are still talking about it.” In fact, Mr. Creel told audiences he wasn’t just on the road to talk, but to listen, and he welcomed dialogue on a full range of questions from safety to job security, hiring to service issues. “Guys around southern Saskatchewan are still talking about it,” adds Jason. Mr. Creel is currently planning stops at several eastern and mid-western terminals throughout the summer (stay tuned to RailCity for possible dates and locations).

HOME SAFETY

Moving in THE

RIGHT DIRECTION Canadian Pacific has recently added another record to its list of accomplishments—the lowest rate of Federal Railroad Administration reportable train accidents in a three-month period.

The most important moment in any employee’s day is when they wrap up a shift and return home. If you’ve completed that shift without getting hurt or getting anyone else hurt, you’re doing something right. Something that matters. “We just finished 2013 leading the industry in the least number of accidents per million miles,” says President and Chief Operating Officer Keith Creel. “And we jumped out of the gate in 2014 with an even stronger result in that area, setting a CP record of only .92 train accidents per million miles. “That’s something to be proud of.” Coming out of a tough winter, that’s a warming report. “Continuous progress has always been our attitude towards safety, and it's great to see everyone's collective efforts reflected in this latest result,” says Calgary Terminal Locomotive Engineer Trevor O'Donoghue. Trevor, whose wife Talia and brother Ryan also work at CP, and who has nearly 30 years of experience in operations says, “Safety is personal. The people we’re working with are not just co-workers, we've all become good friends over the years and in my case, family as well. While this is a step in the right direction, personal injuries need the same improvement. As many of you know from the safety survey, which you were asked to participate in earlier this year, Canadian Pacific is re-examining its ability to operate safely. But this must be a team effort.

Long-time Calgary Terminal Locomotive Engineer Trevor O’Donoghue.

It’s each individual’s responsibility to practise the rules for operating safely, avoid complacency, recognize at-risk behaviours and correct them. “The alternative is a price too high for anyone to have to pay,” says Trevor. “We owe it to the communities we operate in to ensure that we never lose our focus.”

It’s on you Keith is thrilled with the .92. “But, it’s not something we can ever be satisfied with. I can’t be everywhere. It’s on each of our people to stand up for safe practices. If you see someone on their cellphone when they shouldn’t be; if you don’t buckle up your seatbelt when driving; if you simply aren’t as up-todate with the rules as you need to be, it’s on you to do the right thing. “Do you want to work with someone who has decided to send a text message instead of inspecting the train? If that’s happening at an airport, I’m not getting on that plane. The stakes are the same on the railroad.” When Trevor first started with the railroad there was a caboose with a mirror hanging on the wall. The sign on that mirror said, “You’re looking at the person most responsible for your safety.” “That stuck with me for the last 27 years. The way we operate our railway is rapidly changing, however, our commitment to safety never does. We will always strive to operate our railway safer than the day before. We have to.”

CEO AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE

MontrÉal Former Montréal Superintendent, Jason M. Ross received this award on behalf of Montréal Terminal. The decision was based on significant improvements in terminal productivity and efficiency (cars handled, cars handled per people hours worked, cost per car handled, terminal dwell, bad-order time to spot). In 2013, Montréal leadership embraced a new tool—the terminal scorecard— and utilized it to improve processes and leverage change while demonstrating focus, integrity and accountability to senior leadership. Montréal’s advancement sets a tremendous example of the five Foundations at work and exemplifies leadership in the network.

pertaining to last year’s improved intermodal services. Tina’s efforts have benefited from the buy-in of unionized employees like top lift operator Frank Pignataro. Frank goes out of his way to improve service and productivity at Vaughan. One example occurred last year when Frank suggested making signs to prompt truck drivers to show their VA number upon entry to the yard. In the past, an employee would often have to stop what they were doing and go ask the driver for their VA number. It’s a small idea that makes for a better use of resources, and it’s safer than having employees unnecessarily running back and forth between heavy machinery and trucks.

Their decisions were made through both extensive planning and in a fraction of a second. What ties them together is that their choices in their day-to-day jobs exemplify CP’s five Foundations and represent the highest standards of doing business. Their reward was an all-expense paid trip for two to the Ritz-Carlton resort in Naples, Florida.

ARCHIVES

Wheeling and dealing Opened by CP in 1904, the Angus Shops were a collection of locomotive and car shops in Montréal. The property had extensive facilities dedicated to the construction, assembly, repair and maintenance of CP’s locomotives and rolling stock. The Angus Shops consisted of a wheel foundry, truck shop, locomotive shop, passenger car shop, planing mill, cabinet and upholstery shop, kiln, blacksmith shop, frog shop and a general store. Around the time of the Second World War more than 12,000 people worked at the Angus Shops. In this photo an employee lifts some newly-cast steel wheels that are ready for use. Once cooled, each wheel was checked for any cracks or defects before being sent for machining and being approved for service.
