CP International - Weight Limitation Broadcast
Effective January 1, 2009

Post Date: November 12, 2008
Priority: Urgent

We have been advised by the Canadian Pacific Railway that effective January 1, 2009 they will be making changes to the loading of 20 ft marine containers tendered to CP for movement across their Canadian and USNE Network. A copy of their Customer Bulletin follows:

Dear Customer,

At CP our vision is to be the safest most fluid railway in N. America.

In light of more high-capacity 20 ft marine containers entering service, N. American railroads are experiencing increasing instances of these high-capacity 20 ft marines exceeding the safe handling capacity of their Intermodal rail cars. This was confirmed by a recent audit of our intermodal railcar fleet.

Effective Jan 1, 2009 we will be making the following change for loaded 20 ft marine containers tendered to CP for movement across our Canadian and USNE Network:

All 20 ft marine containers will be limited to a maximum gross weight of 52,900 lbs., which includes container tare. As a result, effective Jan 1 2009, CP will cancel it's Canadian & USNE overweight surcharge provision for loaded 20 ft containers.

This weight limit will be in effect for any and all commodities loaded in 20 ft marine equipment moving between the ports of Vancouver, Montreal, New York / New Jersey, Philadelphia and Canadian points.

US Midwest Cross-border and Intra USA:
There is no change to the intra U.S. or U.S.Midwest cross-border weight limitations. They remain as outlined in Circular 7800 because they are already below these limits.

40' Containers - Canada & US:
There is no change to 40' weight limitations, they remain as outlined in Circular 7800.

Marine Terminals:
As is the case today, it is the responsibility of the Marine terminals to load containers to within the maximum load limit of the railcar.

Should overweight 20' containers be loaded to a rail car it will be returned to the Marine

Terminal and be subject to applicable charges as per Circular 7800.
Also as per CP's Circular 7800, any containers whose weights are mis-declared by the shipper are subject to a fine of CDN $2500 per container.

The above changes are part of our ongoing focus to continue being one of the safest railroads in N. America and we appreciate your co-operation.

For further assistance, please contact your Account Manager.
