CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 91% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 16, a modest improvement from the 90% order fulfillment performance seen in week 15. 

That’s according to the Ag Transport Coalition.

In supplying 85% of cars ordered by shippers in week 16, CN performance declined slightly from the 88% order fulfillment performance seen the prior week. 

CN performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for an eighteenth straight week. 

CPKC performance saw further improvement with the railway supplying 96% of shipper orders in week 16 – its best performance this year – as compared to the 91% performance seen the prior week. 

CPKC performance remains above the 90% performance threshold for a fourth straight week.
