CALGARY,

Kansas City (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) (CPKC) is proud to announce its
winners for Elevator of the Year for the 2022-2023 crop year:
Viterra Weyburn (Canada) and Elbow
Lake Co-op Grain (U.S.).
CPKC presents this award annually to grain elevators that
achieve high volumes from a single loading point while consistently
demonstrating efficient railcar loading and a strong commitment to
safety.
"CPKC is proud to recognize the people who operate these
elevators for their dedication in helping farmers in Canada and the U.S. supply the world with
high-quality products," said Jonathan
Wahba, CPKC Senior Vice-President Sales and Marketing,
Intermodal, Automotive & Bulk.
Viterra in Weyburn, Sask., is a
valued customer and first-time winner of the CPKC Elevator of the
Year award. Viterra has shown efficient and safe practices with
each unit-train loaded at the site while moving an impressive
amount of grain.
"We're very pleased to be recognized by CPKC for the performance
of our Weyburn facility last
year," said Kyle Jeworski, CEO of
Viterra Canada. "This is one of many facilities across our asset
network where we've made significant investments to provide our
farm customers with superior service to market and move their
products efficiently. I'd also like to thank our team at
Weyburn for their consistent focus
on safety and high performance, because without their efforts we
would have not been able to achieve this milestone."
Viterra in Weyburn, Sask.,
features an 8,500-foot continuous lead track that came online in
2021.
Elbow Lake Co-op Grain, located
in Elbow Lake, Minn., winner of
this award for the second consecutive year, had the highest tonnage
across the U.S. north network with more than 464,000 metric tonnes
for the full crop year, an increase from the previous year. In
addition, Elbow Lake Co-op leveraged the expanded CPKC network with
multiple corn trains to Mexico
from legacy CP origin.
"Elbow Lake Co-op appreciates
this award. This couldn't have been achieved without the support of
the producers, the efforts of the staff and CPKC's commitment to
service," said Kevin Stein, General
Manager, Elbow Lake Co-op Grain.
