Canadian Pacific Kansas City recently released its 2025-2026 grain report and data from the 2024-2025 grain season.
The Class I expects to conclude the current crop year having moved 27 million metric tons (MMT) of Canadian grain and grain products. That will be the highest volume of grain the railroad has transported in a crop year since 2020-2021 when the company operated as Canadian Pacific, CPKC officials said in the report.
The Class I anticipates moving up to 34 MMT of grain and grain products throughout the crop year, subject to market demand.
CPKC plans to supply capacity for up to 685,000 metric tons of Canadian agricultural products each week when the Port of Thunder Bay is open, from August through January and April through July. During winter months when the port is closed, CPKC plans to supply capacity for 525,000 metric tons of grain and grain products each week.
CPKC previously invested more than C$500 million to purchase 5,900 high-capacity hopper cars, and about 90% of its network-wide fleet now features the high-capacity cars. This year, the Class I plans to take delivery of 100 new Tier 4 diesel-electric locomotives.
CPKC's grain plan also includes a call to the Canadian government to introduce 100% depreciation for supply chain capital investments to become competitive with U.S. policy, to adopt policies that would grow Canadian grain exports to Mexico and to address labor disruptions.
