Best-ever month for Canadian grain transport


Canadian Pacific (CP) set a new record for shipping Canadian grain and grain products in October, with 3.04 million t moved, the first time ever CP has exceeded 3 t in a month.

 

This breaks the highest-ever record for a month, set in April 2020, by 6.9%. It also betters the previous October record of 2.66 t, set in 2019, by 14.2%.

 

According to the railway company, CP continues to invest in its grain fleet with additional hopper cars coming into service each week.

 

CP has so far placed 3,300 new hoppers into service out of a commitment for 5,900 laid out in 2018. The new high-efficiency cars carry 15% more grain volume and 10% more weight compared to the older cars they are replacing. (ben)
