Grain industry representatives and Montana officials met with Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) executives on Thursday, October 

 10, 2002, to urge CP to open a new Canadian route for shipping grain from northcentral Montana to West Coast ports. 



"Our goal has been, and remains, to foster rail competition in Montana to assure that grain producers have the most efficient 

 and effecuve transportation system possible to move products to market," says Ralph Peck, director of the Montana 

 Department of Agriculture. 



Canadian Pacific expressed a strong interest in moving Montana grain west through the Port of Vancouver in British Columbia, 

 and requested more information of grain volumes now carried by rail, truck and barge. CP officials have said they already work 

 closely With Union Pacific Railroad (UP) at other locations, and likely could work with UP to route grain cars from Canada down 

 the West Coast to Pordand. 



For more information, contact Matt McKamey of the department's Agricultural Development Division (406) 444-2402 or by e- 

 mail at agr@state.mt.us.
