OTTAWA - Canada is facing unprecedented simultaneous stoppages at both of its main freight rail operators which could inflict billions of dollars worth of economic damage.
CPKC's history dates back to the 1880s. Previously known as CP Rail, it was built to connect Canada from coast-to-coast. CP Rail was once involved in several businesses including mining and hospitality, and it built and owned iconic Canadian properties such as the Banff Springs Hotel, the Royal York in Toronto, and Château Frontenac in Quebec City.
CPKC, which has roughly 20,000 employees, has a network that runs from Vancouver to Montreal. It also links to the ports of Corpus Christi, New Orleans and Gulfport in the Gulf of Mexico, and further south it connects to the ports of Tampico and Lázaro Cárdenas on the east and west coasts of Mexico.
In 2012, about 4,800 locomotive engineers, conductors and yardmen of CP Rail went on over a week-long strike that only ended after the government introduced back-to-work legislation, at a time when the economy was still recovering from the global financial crisis and a recession.China's President Xi Jinping held talks on Monday with Vietnam's new leader To Lam in Beijing on his first state visit since he took office, Chinese official media Xinhua said.
