Best week ever for grain movement
During the week of 16 October 2022, Canadian National Railways (CN) moved over 806,000 t of grain from Western Canada, exceeding its previous record by over 50,000 t. The result represents the best week ever for grain movement, CN said.
This record also comes on the heels of CN’s second best September ever for grain movement from Western Canada, with over 2.64 million t transported.
The total business revenue tonne miles (rtm) in Q3/2022, measuring the weight and distance of freight transported by CN, increased by 5% compared to the year-earlier period. Freight revenue per rtm increased by 22% compared to the year-earlier period, mainly driven by higher fuel surcharge revenue driven by higher fuel prices. (ben)
