Major Canadian Railways Still Have Issues With Grain Deliveries: Ag Transport Coalition

CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 77% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 29, unchanged from the prior week. 

While overall system performance was unchanged from the prior week, this reflects modest improvement for CN and no change for CPKC as compared to the prior week. 

In supplying 70% of cars ordered by shippers in week 29, CN saw performance improve slightly from the 68% order fulfillment performance seen in week 28. 

CN performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for the seventh consecutive week and below the 80% performance threshold for a 5th straight week. 

CPKC performance is unchanged from the prior week with the railway supplying 86% of shipper orders in week 29. 

CPKC performance remains below the 90% threshold for the 5th consecutive week.
