CN announced late last week it set a record for grain moved within a single calendar year in 2025.
In western Canada, CN moved over 31.3 million metric tons, surpassing the previous record of 30.9 million metric tons set in 2020. Across all of Canada, CN shipped more than 32.7 million metric tons of grain, exceeding the prior record of 32.25 million metric tons established in 2024, CN officials said in a press release.
Last month, CN set a new monthly record for grain movement, marking its fourth consecutive record month. CN moved over 2.82 million metric tons of grain from western Canada last month, surpassing its previous December record set in 2020 by over 80,000 metric tons.
“Canadian farmers produced record grain crops. Through consistent execution and close collaboration across the grain supply chain, CN railroaders supported the movement of these volumes to market. These results contributed to another record month and another consecutive record year in 2025 for grain movement across Canada," said CN Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Janet Drysdale.
