Major Canadian railways improve grain service in week 11: Ag Transport Coalition

The Ag Transport Coalition says week 11 saw system performance improve slightly for a sixth consecutive week with CN and CPKC Rail combined supplying 94% of hopper cars ordered.

That's an improvement from the 93% order fulfillment performance seen in week 10.

System performance remains above the 90% threshold for the third consecutive week. 

In supplying 93% of cars ordered by shippers in week 11, CN saw performance decline slightly from the 96% order fulfillment performance in week 10. 

CN performance has now been above the 90% threshold for three straight weeks.

CPKC saw performance improve slightly, with the railway supplying 95% of cars ordered by shippers, up from the 91% order fulfillment performance seen in week 10. 

CPKC remains above the 90% performance threshold for a third straight week.
