Canadian Pacific’s Soo Line Railroad subsidiary and the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division (BMWED)/IBT recently reached a tentative agreement.

Subject to membership ratification, the pact is expected to be finalized by May 1. Details of the agreement — which would cover about 500 Soo Line MOW workers — weren’t released.

Last month, the BMWED and Soo Line reached a framework settlement, which led to the tentative agreement.

"Our membership has patiently waited through four long years of bargaining to have the opportunity to vote on a new agreement," said BMWED Midwest System Federation General Chairman Mark Wimmer in a prepared statement.
