CN sets new April record moving 3.2M tonnes of grain from Western Canada amid strong demand.

Canadian National Railway (CN) moved a record 3.2 million metric tonnes of grain from Western Canada in April 2026, marking the seventh monthly record this crop year. This strong performance is driven by steady export demand, available grain supplies, and CN's efficient operations across Canada and the US. As the seeding season begins, CN is focused on maintaining reliable service to support the agricultural supply chain and is working with partners to ensure capacity meets ongoing demand for the upcoming crop year.
