CN today announced it closed the 2025-26 crop year with another grain volume record.
In the period, the Class I moved more than 33.8 million metric tons (MMT) of grain from western Canada, breaking the previous volume record of 32.6 MMT set in the 2024-25 crop year.
In July, CN moved 2.62 MMT of grain, surpassing the prior July high-water mark of 2.43 MMT set in 2020.
"This record performance was driven by strong customer demand, close collaboration across the grain supply chain and the consistent execution of [our] operating plan, unlocking incremental capacity and value," CN officials said in a press release. "[As we] look ahead to the next harvest, the company remains focused on delivering safe, consistent and reliable service for producers, grain companies and supply chain partners.
CN recently released its 2026-27 grain plan, which details how the Class I is preparing its network, resources and operations to support the grain supply chain in the next harvest. The railroad expects to move 30 million to 33 million MMTs of grain and processed grain products from western Canada during the next crop year.
