CPR to lengthen freight trains, says Harrison

The musings of Hunter Harrison, the new president of Canadian Pacific Railway may be of more than passing interest to residents of Rosedale and Moore Park. They own the homes that sit on either side of the busy CP thoroughfare in central Toronto.  Mr. Harrison was showing off his decisive command today in New York as the company announced it will cut  4,500 jobs by 2016.  In a remark which may be of interest to South Bayviewites, Mr. Harrison also said CP will seek  more efficient use of its trains. CP will be increasing its train length and efficiency, in order to haul more with fewer trains. It’s hard to imagine that trains could get much longer. Globe and Mail.
