Canadian Pacific has notified the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) that it will seek changes by Transport Canada to reduce by a third the maximum permissible hours that its Canada-based running trades employees can spend at the controls of a train, the Class I announced yesterday.
The Class I has applied the principles of fatigue science to formulate its proposed rules, which would have its employees in Canada move away from the "currently outdated rule" that allows locomotive engineers and conductors to operate a train for up to 18 hours at their discretion, CP officials said in a press release.
