This is a general reminder of CP Rail over-weight container surcharge to all customers. The following are the Maximum Commodity Weights allowable for rail movement within Canada:
- 48,000 lbs or 21.772 MT per 20¡¯ Container

The Maximum Commodity Weights allowable for rail movement via Vancouver to US Inland Destinations are:
- 40,000 lbs per 20¡¯ Container
- 50,000 lbs per 40¡¯ & 45¡¯ Container
Any weight exceeding these amounts, but still within the legal maximum capacity of the container, is still acceptable for rail. However, an Over-Weight Surcharge will be assessed by CP Rail as follows:

Please note that 3rd Party Invoices will be generated for the above Over-Weight Surcharge on any containers exceeding the above maximum rail weight restrictions.
Both the terminal & the rail will NOT handle any cargo whose weight exceeds the Maximum Weight Capacity of the Container, and all charges associated will be for the account of the cargo owners.
Please note the above & advise all your Shipping Parties accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Customer Service or Sales Department in your area, or for further rail information, please consult CP Rail¡¯s website at http://www.cpr.ca
