Union Pacific Railroad has launched a new employee-led business resource group focused on environmental sustainability.

Called "Planet Tracks," the new group is dedicated to "helping employees champion and promote environmental stewardship and sustainability initiatives," UP officials reported in the Class I's Inside Track newsletter.

Canadian Pacific will reopen a British Columbia rail corridor today following severe weather conditions that have knocked out service since Nov. 14.

The tracks will open between Kamloops and Vancouver by mid-day, CP officials said in a press release.
