CPKC

Products: n/a. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 21.8/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 99th percentile of 128 rail supplier companies.

Analyst brief

CPKC's record shows one entry: a February 2024 train-on-train collision near Greely, British Columbia, following a crew's failure to observe a restricting signal, rated severity 4 and classified as a crash. The record is limited to this single event, so no pattern or trajectory across multiple incidents is established. The index of 22 combined with a 99.2 percentile places CPKC at the extreme upper end of the rail-supplier category, reflecting the severity of this one collision relative to category peers. The record is grounded in a specific signal-compliance failure during train operation, consistent with a regulatory-investigation type finding rather than general press coverage.
