CN announced that it closed the 2025–26 crop year with a record movement of more than 33.8 million metric tonnes (MMT) of grain from Western Canada, exceeding the previous record of 32.6 MMT set in the 2024-25 crop year. The record-setting year was capped by a strong finish in July, when CN moved 2.62 MMT of grain, surpassing the previous July record of 2.43 MMT set in 2020.

This record performance was driven by strong customer demand, close collaboration across the grain supply chain and the consistent execution of CN’s operating plan, unlocking incremental capacity and value.

As CN closes out this record 2025–26 crop year and looks ahead to the next harvest, the Company remains focused on delivering safe, consistent and reliable service for producers, grain companies and supply chain partners. CN’s new 2026–27 Grain Plan is now available and outlines how the company is preparing its network, resources and operations to support the grain supply chain in the harvest ahead.
