Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway
One railroad, connecting North America
CPKC was born from the combination of two iconic railroads – Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern. Founded in 1881, Canadian Pacific Railway was formed to unite Canada from coast to coast and grew to reach the U.S. Midwest and beyond with direct links to major ports on the west and east coasts. Established in 1887, Kansas City Southern began as a belt railroad in Kansas City, Mo. and grew to become a vital north-south rail link providing customers with cross-border service between the U.S. and Mexico. In 2023, CPKC made history by creating the first and only transnational railway that connects Canada, the U.S. and Mexico with unrivaled cross-border services and port access. CPKC unlocks the full potential of the CP and KCS networks and our people to connect markets and communities far and wide, while fostering growth and economic prosperity across North America.
