Canadian Pacific Railway is testing the use of biodiesel fuel through
a five-month pilot project involving four locomotives operating between
Calgary and Edmonton.
The testing began in early November and will run through the end of
March and is the first time biodiesel is being used in Canadian cold
weather rail service, the company said.
"Rail is already the most efficient means to move goods long-haul," CEO
Fred Green said. "This initiative positions CP to make a lasting impact
by further reducing our network´s environmental footprint."
