Seems we've seen a lot of CPRail disasters in the news recently.
A few years ago they were in the news a lot too, but not because of their horrendous safety record. No, the story then was all about how two American business geniuses turned CPRail around. Destroying the old culture at the company, their stated aim, payed off big time. Bill and Hunter waddled away with a cool two billion for their efforts.
They were able to add all that value to the company by shedding five thousand workers and ten thousand rail cars. Make the trains longer. You don't need nearly as many locomotives. Let the trains run faster too.
Do you think there could be a connection between that story and today's?
