We have the experience and expertise to make moving your wind power components a breeze.
Fully assembled, some wind turbines stretch nearly as high as the Calgary tower. That's a lot of environmentally-friendly energy power, but how does it get where it needs to go? With CP, your wind power equipment travels quickly, safely, and conveniently.
We've supported wind energy since 2005 shipping carloads of wind power equipment including hubs, nacelles, tower sections and blades. From our extensive rail network to our dedicated transload facilities, not to mention our experienced logistics team, moving your wind power components is a breeze.
We know how to pack
- Your components can be moved on both unit train and single car shipments.
- Our 15-foot clearances across the majority of our network prevent logistical headaches.
We've got connections
- With CP, gain access to key North American break bulk ports, including Duluth, Thunder Bay, Montreal and Windsor.
- Access wind-friendly ports such as Thunder Bay, Duluth, Fraser Surrey Docks, Milwaukee, and Montreal.
- We offer direct access to wind developments in the US Midwest and three wind tower manufacturers in Canada (Marmen, Brandt Group and CS Wind).

Our transload facilities are second-to-none
