Major Canadian Railways Continued Strong Grain Service Last Week: Ag Transport Coalition

CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 95% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 22, a modest decline from the 97% order fulfillment performance seen in week 21. 

The decline in performance reflects declines for each of CN and CPKC. 

In supplying 94% of cars ordered by shippers in week 22, CN saw performance dip for a second consecutive week, down from the 98% order fulfillment performance they posted in week 21. 

CN performance remains above the 90% performance threshold for the fourth consecutive week. 

CPKC performance also declined, with the railway supplying 96% of shipper orders in week 22 – modestly lower than the 97% order fulfillment performance posted in week 21. 

CPKC performance remains above the 90% threshold for the 11th consecutive week.
