Our Birmingham 14th St. Junction Project has been recognized by @RTSMag as one of North America’s Top Rail Infrastructure Projects of 2026: bit.ly/4ehP6ka 🚂 🏆
This work transformed one of the busiest junctions in our network to move freight safer, faster, and more reliably.
At Birmingham’s 14th Street junction, we replaced outdated elements with modern turnouts, signals, and track panels. The final phase was completed in just 48 hours, with 140 railroaders working together. 💪 (seen here)
The impact:
✅ Tripled NS train speeds
✅ Smoother operations through a vital interlocking
✅ Reduced traffic congestion for the surrounding community
Now, up to 70 trains a day move through this critical corridor, helping keep America’s supply chain on rolling. 🇺🇸

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.
