ecoFREIGHT Delivers ecoFRIENDLY Locomotives

    CALGARY, May 6 /CNW/ - Canadian Pacific (CP: TSX/NYSE) will test two
environmentally friendly locomotives in southern Ontario thanks to Transport
Canada's ecoFREIGHT Program announced Executive Vice-President and Chief
Operating Officer Kathryn McQuade today.
    "We commend Minister Cannon and his colleagues for helping us improve the
environment in the communities we serve," said McQuade. "The Government of
Canada's ecoFREIGHT program helps us test and prove innovative products
sooner."
    Canadian Pacific has ordered two high efficiency National Railway
Equipment Company "GenSet" locomotives. The locomotives are unique in that
instead of one 2,100 horsepower diesel locomotive engine they utilize three
independent diesel engine GenSets to achieve the same amount of total
horsepower. Overall, the technology aims to achieve significant fuel savings,
ultra-low emissions and longer engine life.
    "Moving goods long haul by rail is already much more fuel efficient and
safer than other modes of transportation," added McQuade. "We are always
looking for innovations that reduce our environmental footprint and make rail
an even cleaner mode of transportation."
    Canadian Pacific's emissions per Revenue Tonne Mile (RTM) have decreased
almost one quarter (24.1%) since 1990 while RTMs have increased 37.4% over the
same period. RTMs are a standard measure of rail traffic volumes.
Additionally, CP has equipped three quarters of its existing locomotive fleet
with automatic engine start/stop technology, which reduces emissions from
idling locomotives.
