CP Bakken Shale Rail Connections

Calgary Alberta - Bakken related oil drilling is creating a rapidly escalating demand for rail movements including crude oil, fracture sand, drill pipe, tube, casing, and any products relating to the development of the Bakken.
 
Canadian Pacific (CP) and its shortline partners are positioned throughout the Bakken area to serve this rapidly growing demand.
 
Not all rail lines or site locations are created equal.
 
When determining suitability of a specific site, there are many variables to consider that could influence the type of service a railroad can provide, such as:
 
·  road crossings;
 
·  grades;
 
·  other rail traffic;
 
·  track weight restrictions;
 
·  speed restrictions.
