Abstract
Canadian Pacific (CP) has taken a systems approach to minimizing the stress state and maximizing velocity in high-tonnage, heavy haul western Canada mainline operations. Recognizing the interaction between wheel-rail contact mechanics, train handling, and track geometry, CP has tested and implemented a number of advanced technologies that leverage current knowledge, systems, products, and equipment in each of these areas. This includes implementation of distributed locomotive power configurations based on sophisticated track/train interaction modelling, as well as the state-of-the-art top of rail and gauge face friction control. Together, these technologies have resulted in reductions in damaging lateral forces, rail wear, and fastening system fatigue, as well as increases in velocity and network capacity. This article presents the theory, implementation, and verification of distributed power, fine tuning curve superelevation and friction control technologies within the practical operating conditions of British Columbia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
