Thank you to everyone who helped make the opening of DL&W Station a reality, and thank you for joining us for this momentous, historic event. 🙏🚉
Today, we welcomed visitors from Railway Age and RT&S magazines’ annual Women in Rail conference to our Bensenville Yard outside Chicago. Conference participants got an onsite overview of the terminal’s operations and our ongoing multi-year yard reconfiguration project, a massive investment into CPKC’s main classification yard to expand capacity and efficiency in this critical American rail hub.
Earlier in the week at Women in Rail, CPKC’s Kimia Khatami, Director of Transload Strategy and Operations, joined a panel to share her leadership journey and offer guidance to young professionals pursuing careers in rail. Kimia highlighted the importance of mentorship, resilience, and inclusion in shaping the next generation of leaders across the transportation industry.
