CALGARY, Alberta — CPKC broke its January record for Canadian grain shipments in the just-completed month, moving 2.396 million metric tons and 24,688 carloads, the railroad announced today (Feb. 2, 2026).
Both figures surpass records set in January 2023.
“By working closely with our grain customers and working efficiently with our supply chain collaborators, our railroaders have delivered record amounts of grain and grain products across Western Canada to start the year,” Jonathan Wahba, senior vice-president, Sales and Marketing, said in a press release. “This performance and record volumes have been made possible through significant investment in the grain supply chain made by CPKC and our customers in new and upgraded grain-handling capacity and high-capacity hopper cars.”
Through the first 26 weeks of the 2025-26 crop year, CPKC has shipped more than 15.1 million metric tons of grain and grain products, the largest totals since a record-setting crop year in 2020-21.
Details on CPKC’s grain service are available in its annual grain plan.
