In Canada, CPKC moved 2.94 million metric tonnes (MMT) and 30,324 carloads of grain and grain products in September 2026 — the second record month in a row to begin the 2026-2027 crop year. The three-month period of July, August and September also set a third-quarter record for carloads and metric tonnes in Canadian grain.

In the United States, CPKC moved 2.51 MMT and 26,236 carloads of grain and grain products in September, likewise setting September and third-quarter records. Combined Canadian and U.S. volumes set new records for total carloads and metric tonnes for both the month and the quarter.

"These new records reflect the collective effort of CPKC railroaders, our customers and those across the grain supply chain working together with a shared commitment to service, safety and execution," said Elizabeth Hucker, CPKC Vice President, Sales & Marketing Bulk.

With its global headquarters in Calgary, CPKC is the first and only single-line transnational railway linking Canada, the United States and Mexico, with approximately 20,000 route miles and about 20,000 railroaders.
