Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Division 528 proudly represents all of the Locomotive Engineers, Conductors, Trainmen and Yardmen who operate freight trains on Canadian Pacific Railway's London Division.

The original route was constructed in two parts.  The first by the Credit Valley Railway which built the line from Toronto to St. Thomas in 1881, and the second portion from Woodstock to Windsor by the West Ontario Pacific in 1885.  By 1887 both routes were combined and under control of the CPR, and the London Division was born. 

Many of the smaller branches are long since abandoned, however the mainline remains part of a busy link for CP between Chicago and Montreal.
