Subject: CP Intermodal Tour.
Ron,
A quick note to say thank you for organizing the tour of the
CP Intermodal facility. It’s always interesting to get
a chance to look around a different facility, and to get a
feel for how other systems work. The ride in the big forklift
was pretty neat too!
I’m certainly looking
forward to coming on more tours.
Thanks,
Matt
