Facts about CP in this city
- The arrival on October 9th, 1877, three and a half
years before the formation of Canadian Pacific Railway, of the
steam locomotive the Countess of Dufferin, six flatcars and a
caboose in Winnipeg marked a new
era of development for western Canada.
- Winnipeg would become
CPR's gateway to the Prairies, where finished goods and people
flowed in and wheat, grain and livestock flowed out. CPR employed
thousands here and invested heavily in railway shops, yards and
infrastructure.
- Winnipeg is home to CP's
centralized transactional centre, the Network Service
Centre.
- Today, CP employees more than 1,200 people in
Winnipeg.
