...Thirty years ago...


...CP Rail was a division of Canadian Pacific Limited (other divisions included CP Hotels, CP Ships, CP Air )


….railway  rights of way were shrubbery free and  tree-less...


...and lash-ups  were commonly  three  or more  units...
 

...Alco (MLW) power...was the norm on CP Rail (Eastern and Atlantic Region) – (all those dozens of  new SD's sent west ),


An eastbound CP Rail   #942  with TOFC at Lovekin,


Powered by Four Units Three Models Two Builders: a  lashup soiled by a single EMD invader:


CP Rail #4569 - B&O 3736 – CP Rail  4509 – CP Rail  4236 ( MLW M630 - EMD GP40 - MLW M630 - MLW C424 )


B&O 3736 off the Chessie  roster by January 1, 1987 but lived to see CSX: By April 30, 1986 B&O merged into the C&O; then July 1, 1986 C&O was merged into the new CSX Transportation (part of the CSX Corporation)


by 1991: 4509 stored unserviceable and  by 1993:  4569 retired  and  4236 is the future 1100

What's interesting: 
 

CP Limited  sold CP Air in 1987 as part of the merger of Nordair and Pacific Western to form  Canadian Airlines


October 3, 2001 Canadian Pacific Limited spin off the remaining Divisions into separate companies and at that time the Canadian Pacific Railway Limited that we know today was created.


CP Hotels acquired the Delta and Princess Hotel chains (in 1998) and Fairmont chain (1999) then  changed name – in October 2001 to Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and in January 2006 Fairmont was acquired by Kingdom Hotels ( Saudi Arabia owned ).


CP Ships Limited ( at that time THE major source of CP Rail's container traffic )  was sold in 2005 to TUI AG (Germany) who merged CP Ships into the Hapag-Lloyd division.
