CN reports May grain movement

Jun 02, 2026

CN announced today that in May it moved over 2.96 million metric tonnes (MMT) of grain from Western Canada, surpassing the previous monthly record of 2.54 MMT set in May of 2025 and establishing another new monthly record for grain movement. The achievement continues a strong crop year performance trend for CN, driven by sustained export demand, ample grain supply and efficient operations across its network. CN continues to move high volumes through its Canadian export corridors. The Company’s strong network performance has enabled it to meet customer demand while maintaining fluidity across the supply chain.

As the growing season gets underway across Western Canada, CN remains focused on delivering consistent and reliable service to support producers, grain companies and supply chain partners. Through ongoing collaboration with customers and partners, CN is positioning its network to support current shipping needs and maintain strong performance into this next crop year.
