CN sets a new monthly record for grain movement across Western Canada in August.

CN Railway set a new monthly grain-shipping record in August, moving 2.50 million metric tonnes of grain from Western Canada across its network Financial Post. The achievement beats the previous record of 2.34 million metric tonnes from August 2020, showing strong customer demand as the fall harvest approaches.
CN's 2.50 million metric tonne haul in August represents a 7% jump from the 2020 record Financial Post. The railway credits the surge to close collaboration with grain companies and supply chain partners across Western Canada. This result comes as producers and exporters ramp up shipments ahead of the busy harvest season.
CN says it has prepared its network, resources, and operations to handle the crush ahead Financial Post. The company's 2026–27 Grain Plan outlines how it will support customers through harvest and beyond. CN promises safe, consistent, and reliable service for producers and grain supply chain allies.
August marks the start of Western Canada's peak grain-shipping window. Rail capacity matters enormously because most Canadian grain travels by train to export terminals on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts Financial Post. Breaking the 2020 record signals CN can keep pace with rising export demand and farmer shipments this fall.
