Lac-Megantic: MONTREAL Canadian Pacific Railway

MONTREAL 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 660 News. 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 MMAs 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 CPs boycott and issued an order late Wednesday that overrides Canadian Pacifics decision.
