Are there any restrictions on the size or weight of shipments?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, Canadian Pacific Railway has certain restrictions on the size and weight of shipments. The maximum weight per shipment is generally limited to 263,000 pounds (119,295 kilograms) for boxcars and 286,000 pounds (129,727 kilograms) for intermodal containers. For oversized or dimensional shipments, specific guidelines must be followed, including obtaining special permits. Dimensions in excess of 15 feet in height, 10 feet in width, or 85 feet in length may require additional clearance and planning. These restrictions ensure the safe and efficient operation of the railway system. For further information or to inquire about specific requirements, customers are advised to contact Canadian Pacific Railway's customer support or consult the company's official documentation.
