Alberta-based Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), the only single-line transnational railway linking Canada, the United States and Mexico, recently announced the certification of 14 new site ready rail-served industrial development locations in six U.S. states, three Canadian provinces and two Mexican states.
