CP seemed to innovate a lot more than most North American roads. They even owned a trucking company and an airline at one time. There was a program on PBS or Travel channel recently about all the CP luxury resorts and hotels across Canada. Worth watching.

Corridor expansion doesn’t keep CPR from recording revenue growth A significant capacity expansion project on Canadian Pacific Railway’s busiest corridor didn’t put a damper on the Class I’s ability to post solid second-quarter revenue increases. If the old saying is true "that numbers never lie" then in a discussion about who is best CN or CP, numbers are CN's best friend. Here are CN's results from the second quarter: Financial highlights, and increased full-year 2005 earnings forecast Diluted earnings per share of $1.47 for the second quarter of 2005, up 30 per cent from $1.13 reported for second-quarter 2004; Second-quarter 2005 net income of $416 million, an increase of 28 per cent from second-quarter 2004 net income of $326 million; Second-quarter 2005 operating income of $713 million, an increase of 24 per cent; Record second-quarter operating ratio of 61.2 per cent, a 4.3-percentage point improvement over second-quarter 2004 performance; Free cash flow of $787 million for the first half of 2005, compared with $587 million for the comparable period of 2004; (1) Strong results and solid outlook prompt management to increase full-year 2005 earnings guidance – diluted earnings per share for the year now expected to rise in the range of 20 to 25 per cent, compared with previous guidance of 10-15 per cent increase over 2004 EPS of $4.34. CN's operating ratio of 61.2% is incredible when compared with the rest of the industry.

QUOTE: Originally posted by wctransfer I like CP and CN. I like CP becasue they havethe SOO line, and my uncle is a dispatcher for them. I like CN(only engineers and engines) because they have WC and i know a lot of people there. So i Like CN's power, and engineers and conductors, but not the managment. And i think Alstom is being like breakingbenjamin4444 , they just post post post . Alec
