This marks the eleventh consecutive week that CN order fulfillment performance has reached or surpassed the 80% performance threshold but fell below the 90% threshold for the first time in three weeks.

 

CPKC saw performance decline slightly, with the railway supplying 95% of shipper orders in week 48 as compared to the 100% order fulfillment performance seen in week 47.
