Following the appointment of railroading legend Hunter Harrison as CEO in 2012, Canadian Pacific embarked on a successful profitability turnaround. Initially upon taking the helm, Harrison closed numerous intermodal terminals and hump yards to rightsize the network.
The Kansas City Southern merger, which creates new, seamless intermodal lanes, should yield meaningful opportunities for incremental volume growth.
Canadian grain carload-volume growth will likely take a breather in 2024 on a less robust late-2023 harvest and a less favorable export backdrop (to China).
