Canadian Transportation Agency: Canadian Pacific Railway

Canadian Pacific Railway: Calgary-based CP had expressed concern about the "fitness" of the insolvent short-haul railway to safely handle hazardous substances in light of the deadly derailment and crash last month that devastated Lac-Megantic, Que, according to CTV. "The agency also finds that the balance of inconvenience clearly favours MMA as the refusal to grant the interim order would result in the virtual cessation of MMA's operations," the CTA wrote in an eight-page decision and MONTREAL -- Canadian Pacific Railway has been ordered by a federal agency to end an embargo that prevented Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway from accessing cargo such as crude oil. But the Canadian Transportation Agency agreed with MM A that the short-haul railway would suffer irreparable financial harm from CP's boycott and issued an order late Wednesday that overrides Canadian Pacific's decision.
