CPKC was born following the 2023 merger of two railroads – Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern. CPKC operates in Iowa through the DME. CPKC’s 20,000-mile transcontinental network spans the U.S., Canada, and Mexico connecting ports like Montreal and Vancouver to key U.S. cities such as Chicago and Kansas City. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with U.S. operations in Minneapolis, CPKC's Iowa routes run along the Mississippi River from the Minnesota border to Muscatine, crossing at Sabula toward Chicago, and extending to Ottumwa and on to the Missouri border, plus routes operating from Mason City west to Sheldon, east to Marquette, and north into Minnesota.
