3 Best Railway Companies in Calgary

Backtrack Railway Services Ltd. supplies railway tools, parts and repair services from its Calgary branch, serving CPKC crews, Calgary Transit and southern Alberta. Its range includes rail grinders, spike drivers and pullers, impact wrenches, cut-off saws, measuring and gauging equipment, safety products and track-maintenance accessories. The branch is a factory-authorized service centre for the major railway tool manufacturers it carries. Backtrack repairs, rebuilds and maintains equipment to manufacturers’ standards in Canada, including WVCO railway solutions and on-track tie-plugging products. That combination suits maintenance-of-way crews seeking equipment, parts or specialized repair support in one supplier relationship. The company specifically positions its Canadian service model as an alternative to shipping tools across the border.

CPKC Railway - Building 1 is a Calgary corporate office associated with a railway campus that includes historic locomotives and rail cars on static display. It may interest visitors attending railway-related events, such as a steam-engine flag-off ceremony, or people encountering the campus for business purposes. The setting combines corporate facilities with visible railway heritage rather than functioning solely as a public attraction.

The company operates rail connections across Canada, the United States and Mexico, with a network that supports north-to-south movement across the continent.
