Canadian Pacific - Kansas City Southern merger

The following summary explains how we have modeled the Canadian Pacific - Kansas City Southern merger in PC*Miler Rail v31.1.

PC*Miler Rail v31.1 product release guidelines:

  • Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) is the official name of this new Class 1 railroad company. The reporting mark is CPKC. The RRNum = 608. However, this is not the case in PC*Miler Rail.

  • For both Railinc Corporation & Trimble (PC*Miler Rail), the usage is still Canadian Pacific Railway (CPRS). The reporting mark is still CPRS. The RRNum is still 105.

  • Railinc Corporation has keyed all of the “new” merger stations and merger junctions to be identified as CPRS (not CPKC).

  • PC*Miler Rail has already activated these “new” merger stations and junctions to be identified as CPRS (not CPKC).

  • PC*Miler Rail has already designated Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS) as an defunct Class 1 railroad company effective prior to the PC*Miler Rail v31.1 product release.

  • The Canadian Pacific - Kansas City Southern merger will not impact Kansas City Southern De Mexico (KCSM) per request by the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) stakeholders. In PC*Miler Rail, please continue to use Kansas City Southern De Mexico (KCSM) to generate routes and generate maps in the software program.

The following elements have been completed for the PC*Miler Rail v31.1 release:

  • Expired all defunct KCS stations and junctions.

  • Removed all KCS track ownership rights from link segments.

  • Removed all KCS track operating rights from link segments.

  • Added all new CPRS stations and junctions.

  • Added new CPRS track ownership rights onto link segments.

  • Added new CPRS track operating rights onto link segments.

  • Verified that all of the CPRS stations are fully connected and routable in the railroad mapping network.

  • Verified that there are no gaps in routing to the CPRS constellation of stations in the railroad mapping network.

Additional Notes:

We have modeled the first phase of the CPRS-KCS merger in our data for the PC*Miler Rail v31.1 product release as reported in the aforementioned comments. A future second phase will consist of CPKC and Railinc Corporation implementing the following elements:

  1. Change the Reporting Mark from CPRS to CPKC.

  2. Change the RRNum = 105 to RRNum = 608.

  3. Replace all CPRS stations with new CPKC stations.

  4. Replace all CPRS junctions with new CPKC junctions.

Important: Please be advised that there is currently no timetable for when the aforementioned second phase will be performed by CPKC and Railinc Corporation and/or when Trimble (PC*Miler Rail) will model these future data elements in our software program.

The following USA states listed below in alphabetical order are now populated with newly active CPRS stations and CPRS junctions per Railinc: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

The following elements have been modeled in the PC*Miler Rail mapping database:

  • Removed all KCS track ownership rights from link segments.

  • Removed all KCS track operating rights from link segments.

  • Added new CPRS track ownership rights onto link segments.

  • Added new CPRS track operating rights onto link segments.

Notes:

  • All active CPRS stations and CPRS junctions per Railinc have now been added into the PC*Miler Rail v31.1 software product.

  • All defunct KCS stations and KCS junctions have now been removed from the PC*Miler Rail v31.1 software product.

  • If there is a need to reference the now defunct KCS stations, junctions and map network, please use the previously released PC*Miler Rail v31.0 software product for the purpose of providing historical perspective.
