CPKC Shatters Grain Transport Records Across North America
Canadian Pacific Kansas City moved 2.8 million metric tonnes of grain across Canada in June, marking a historic high for the month and eclipsing the previous benchmark established in 2020. This performance reflects a broader surge in logistics efficiency, as the railway also set record-breaking volumes for its U.S. operations.
Operations in the United States mirrored this success, with the company hauling 2.5 million metric tonnes in June. This figure outperformed the previous 2022 monthly record. The second quarter also saw a peak of 7.5 million metric tonnes moved south of the border. With monthly records achieved in five of the first six months of 2026, the railway continues to leverage its 20,000-mile network linking Canada, the United States, and México to meet rising agricultural demand.
