CN moved 3.2 million metric tonnes of grain in April

May 06, 2026

CN announced that in April it moved 3.2 million metric tonnes of grain from Western Canada, again setting a new monthly record for grain movement.

That makes eight months of strong performance for this crop year, with seven months being new monthly records.

CN's strong network performance is enabling a record-setting volume pace as a result of the steady export demand, the available grain and CN's efficient operations across both export corridors and within Canada and the US.
