Cramer Statement on Canadian Pacific Grain Car Ordering System
Statement
Issues: Transportation Agriculture and Food
Today Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement on reports surrounding the new Canadian Pacific Railway ordering system for grain cars:
"It was brought to my attention earlier this week North Dakota grain elevators are being asked by Canadian Pacific to cancel existing grain car requests in order to participate in a new shuttle program. I will not tolerate bullying tactics of any kind, especially given the pressures already placed on our agriculture industry. I have brought these reports to the Surface Transportation Board, and this serious matter will be a specific part of my inquiry during next week's hearing in Fargo."
