Good Morning

 

The Discovery Channel announced that their 8-part television series, "Rocky Mountain Railroad," will air across Canada starting Monday, March 5th on the Discovery Channel. 

 

The series will continue every Monday night for a total run of eight weeks. 

 

More information and a preview is available here:  https://www.discovery.ca/Shows/Rocky-Mountain-Railroad.

 

Canadian Pacific employees have always known there is a "cool factor" to what they do for a living. Still, it's nice when others take notice.

 

For two months last year, CP played host to film crews from the Discovery Channel in our Pacific, Prairie and Central corridors as they documented how CP works to move the commerce of the nation in some of the most challenging and scenic railroad territory in the world.

 

CP President and CEO Keith Creel called the production, "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase our network, our operations, our key customers and most importantly, our people."

 

The film crews embedded with track maintenance crews, rode trains across mountain passes, and spent time with mechanical employees in car and locomotive shops. The film crew also documented an emergency change-out of a locked axle on CP's main line, and spent time with customers at locations where railcars are loaded and unloaded.

 

The series will be promoted on social media using the hashtag, #RockyMountainRailroad.
