We are delighted to have Paul Clegg, retired Director of Network Transactions for Canadian Pacific Railway, as our guest speaker.
The title of Paul's presentation is "So You Want To Be A Railroader".
It's a fascinating look into his 37-year career with Canadian Pacific and his reflections on the monumental changes he oversaw in CP's massive network restructuring during the last three decades.
Paul was engaged in Grain Marketing in Montreal,
Regina and Winnipeg and Network Strategy and Research in Calgary. During his time
with Network Strategy, he was responsible for line sales and acquisitions as well as
planning for new rail lines in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland near Edmonton.
Paul has a number of articles published on CPR history including the revolutionary 36’
steel inside sheathed “Dominion” boxcar, meat and livestock movement and aspects of
CPR’s building and bridge designs among others. He is also a committee member for
the Canadian Railway Hall of Fame.
Paul is a graduate of the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Commerce in
Transportation and Logistics. He was also a Logistics officer in the Canadian Forces
Reserve. He is a member of the Lexington Group in Transportation History and has
participated in the Canadian Transportation Research Forum. Paul currently consults for
Dominion Railway Services.
