CN announced that it set another a new monthly record for grain movement across its network. In August, CN moved 2.50 million metric tonnes (MMT) of grain from Western Canada, surpassing the previous record of 2.34 MMT set in August 2020.
The record movement marks a strong start to the 2026-27 crop year as the harvest progresses across Western Canada and new grain begins moving through the supply chain. This performance reflects strong customer demand, close collaboration with grain supply chain partners and the consistent execution of CN's operating plan.
Following a record 2025-26 crop year, CN remains focused on maintaining this momentum through the fall harvest and delivering safe, consistent and reliable service for producers, grain companies and supply chain partners.
