CN and Canadian Pacific (CP) each moved more than 3 million metric tons (MMT) of grain in October—a first, as neither had ever exceeded that amount in one month.

CN moved 3.27 MMT of Canadian grain in October
, beating the previous record of 2.88 MMT, set in October 2019, by 13.5%. This performance follows seven straight months of record grain movement (March-September).

CP moved 3.04 MMT of Canadian grain and grain products last month. The railroad’s October record betters its previous record for one month, set in April 2020, by 6.9%, and the previous October record of 2.66 MMT, set in 2019, by 14.2%.
