Video B-Roll available via CNW - Industry-Leading Bio-Diesel Announcement

TORONTO , Nov. 26 /CNW/ - The following B-Roll is available by Broadcast On-Demand web download:

STORY SUMMARY:

Canadian Pacific is testing four biodiesel-fueled locomotives in captive service between Calgary and Edmonton . The pilot project will evaluate the cold weather application of biodiesel in real world conditions. It is the first cold weather use of biodiesel by a railroad. The pilot is a partnership with Natural Resources Canada under the National Renewable Diesel Demonstration Initiative.

Canadian Pacific will undertake routine detailed mechanical examinations of the locomotives in the pilot project. The information gathered will be used to evaluate whether a biodiesel mixture of up to 5% (B5) has any significant adverse effects on a locomotive or its associated systems in cold weather operation. Impact to reliability, potential changes to the overhaul or maintenance work scope and reviews of specific components on the locomotives will also be monitored.
