Calgary: Canadian Pacific Railway says it will wipe out 130 occupations in the impending months in the wake of pulling out that it will close its train repair and upkeep focus at Calgary's Alyth Yard.

The work of the Locomotive Reliability Centre will be exchanged to other CP support offices, the route said Thursday.

Canadian Pacific said the choice takes after the Canadian Transportation Agency's request to stop burden testing and sitting in overnight operations at the 60-year-old office.

Canadian Pacific (Tsx:cp) says the controller's prerogative neglected to distinguish the every waking hour operational necessities of the office and limits its capability to furnish client administration.

Despite the closure, Alyth Yard will remain an important CP rail yard offering non-stop railway activities, the company said.
