CN hauls record amounts of grain in October

CN yesterday announced it set a new monthly record for grain movements in October.

CN moved over 3.4 million metric tons of grain from western Canada last month, higher by 110,000 metric tons from its previous set record for the month and the best individual month ever recorded by the railroad, CN officials said in a press release. 

"This performance shows what’s possible with good customer collaboration, thoughtful planning and strong execution," said CN Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Janet Drysdale in a press release.

"We’re proud to move Canadian grain safely and efficiently to deliver for farmers, supply chain partners, and the economy.” CN officials also said that the company is continuing to execute its winter operations plan across the network as the colder months begin.
