CN sets another quarterly grain record

CN recently set a new quarterly record for transporting grain and grain products across its network, railroad officials said in a press release.

The Class I moved 7.94 million metric tons (MMT) of grain from Western Canada in third-quarter 2026, surpassing the previous record of 7.48 MMT set in 2020.

The performance reflects robust customer demand, close collaboration across the grain supply chain and consistent execution of the railroad’s operating plan, CN officials said. The Class I remains focused on sustaining this momentum through winter while continuing to deliver safe, reliable and consistent service to producers, grain companies and supply chain partners, they added.
