CP plays an active role in the communities we operate in, and our employees do, too. Through CP has Heart, we’ve helped raise over $32 million to improve the heart health of men, women and children of North America.

Through sponsorships like the CP Women's Open and Spruce Meadows, we're able to shine a spotlight on local heart charities that make a big impact in their communities.

We’re also proud to operate the CP Holiday Train, North America’s largest rolling fundraiser, since 1999. Stopping in over 170 communities along our network each holiday season, we’ve helped raise over $19 million and donated nearly five million pounds of food for North American food banks.

Train conductors play a vital role in railway operations. As a train crew member, a conductor travels to various locations with the train, ensuring the safe arrival of cargo to its destination. Responsibilities include switching cars, making or splitting up trains in yards, or moving cars between yards, sidings or tracks.

This entry-level union position can lead to career growth as a Yard Foreperson, Locomotive Engineer or management. The average CP train conductor earns $99,000 per year, and earns a railroad retirement plan, Employee Share Purchase Plan and health and welfare benefits. All you need is a high school diploma/GED. We’ll take care of the rest with paid training so you’ll have everything you need to keep the company and the economy moving.

CP has set ambitious science-based targets to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We are proud to be taking a leadership role in the freight industry’s low-carbon transition and of the progress we have made to date. CP has continued to reduce GHG emissions through fuel efficiency measures, achieving a 44 percent improvement in locomotive fleet fuel efficiency since 1990. The installation of a solar energy farm at our Calgary headquarters allows us to generate up to five megawatts of renewable electricity and avoid approximately 2,600 tons of CO2 emissions each year.

Through our Hydrogen Locomotive Program, we are retrofitting diesel-powered locomotives with hydrogen fuel cells and battery technology to deploy North America’s first hydrogen-powered line-haul freight locomotive prototype. As we progress our Climate Strategy, we will continue to focus on fuel efficiency efforts in the near term to support the advancement of alternative fuels and emerging technologies for the future.
