“Once again, and for the fourteenth consecutive month, our dedicated team of railroaders has succeeded in setting a new record for the movement of Canadian grain. Needless to say, the valuable cooperation of our agri-food and supply chain partners was key to achieving these results. We believe that our long-term investment strategy was important in setting these 14 consecutive records, but none of this would have been possible without everyone's dedication.”

CN's continued ability to deliver record volumes is largely due to investments made by the railway over the past few years. To find out more about CN’s commitment to grain please visit www.cn.ca/grain.
