CN announces near-record month

Canadian National Railway had the second best May ever for grain shipped, according to the company’s weekly report.

Over 2.5 million metric tonnes of grain was shipped last month. Year-to-date CN has shipped 20.6 tonnes, which represents an increase of two per cent versus the three-year average but is a few points below the five-year average. Total contract orders were 2,328.

CN ships grain using a common hopper fleet, comprised of government hoppers, CN owned and leased cars, and customer-owned cars.
