The 2024-25 grain year came to a close last week, with CN and CPKC Rail delivering very good performance once again.
That's according to the Ag Transport Coalition.
CN and CPKC supplied a combined 97% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 52, representing an improvement from the 93% order fulfillment performance seen in week 51.
This marks the eleventh consecutive week that system performance has been above the 90% threshold.
In supplying 96% of cars ordered by shippers in week 52, CN matched its performance from the prior week.
This marks the fifteenth consecutive week that CN order fulfillment performance has reached or surpassed the 80%
performance threshold and the eighth time in the last eleven weeks that performance has been 90% or better.
CPKC saw performance bounce back last week, with the railway supplying 99% of shipper orders in week 52 as compared to the 90% order fulfillment performance seen in week 51.
This marks the twelfth consecutive week the railway has posted performance of 90% or better.
