A recent ruling has acquitted Canadian Pacific Kansas City of contempt of court related to long work hours. The decision was made by a judge on August 28, 2024. In a separate legal matter, the B.C. Court of Appeal upheld an order requiring Canadian National Railway to pay $16.2 million for its role in causing a forest fire in 2015. Additionally, freight rail company CSX lost its bid in a U.S. appeals court to revive antitrust claims against Norfolk Southern. The court ruled that CSX's allegations regarding exclusionary fees charged by a jointly owned Virginia switching line were filed outside the statute of limitations. This decision could have significant financial implications for CSX, which claimed damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars due to denied access to a major East Coast marine terminal.
