At OAC we are serviced by CN RAIL that still doesn’t mean that other parts manufacturers don’t use CP. They could use CP then use trucks to bring certain parts to the plant so this might be interesting. All our stuff from Buffalo Stamping is sent by CN.

Window sticker on my Transit Connect shows "CA2P" as ramp, which I believe is near St.Paul, Minnesota. Both Canadian Pacific (CP) and BNSF have automotive facilities there, anybody know if "CA2P" is a CP or BNSF facility?

According to this spreadsheet from Ford-trucks.com it is the Cottage grove Ramp operated by Canadian Pacific.

OAC used to use CN and CP many years ago but it’s only CN. I hope this doesn’t affect those waiting for new vehicles because I know CP RAIL operates in the US with SOO rail.


CN has more US trackage and trackage rights in the US than CP does including in Wisconsin and Michigan UP where the majority of the Soo Line is. Don't forget CN (at the moment at least) owns Wisconsin Central. That's a big part of why CP is trying to merge with KCS, plus a direct route to Mexico.

Thanks Fuzzy.  My hometown had a Soo Line and Burlington Northern rail lines.  Now both are gone.  The old soo line track was converted to a trail.  I didn’t know that CP had bought Soo Line up.  Apparently there are still a couple locomotives with the old red and white hockey stick paint scheme I remember growing up.

Thanks for the info. I was unaware that CN owns Wisconsin Central. All these acquisitions to make the companies bigger and more powerful.
