These results come after record movements in March and April, where CN moved 2.62 MMT and 2.73 MMT, respectively, from Western Canada. So far, during the 2019-2020 crop year, CN has moved 23.3 MMT of Western Canadian Grain. When looking at Canada-wide performance, CN also set a record for May with more than 2.60 MMT moved compared to the previous record of 2.52 MMT set in 2014. “This has not been an easy year for farmers or for the supply chain, yet by working closely with our customers we have been able to adapt and deliver,” said James Cairns, SVP, rail centric supply chain at CN. “This crop year has seen wet weather delay the harvest, service disruptions and a pandemic, all of which have impacted the supply chain and yet the results continue to set records.
