This expansive network, coupled with the company's comprehensive range of freight transportation services, logistics solutions, and supply chain expertise, positions CPKC as a key player in the North American transportation industry. The upcoming earnings call and webcast will likely shed more light on how CPKC plans to leverage its unique assets and capabilities to drive future growth.
