CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 87% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 41, a modest improvement from the 84% order fulfillment performance seen in week 40.
This represents the seventh consecutive week of improved performance and the best performance seen for the two railways combined in more than five months.
In supplying 82% of cars ordered by shippers in week 41 CN performance slightly improved from the 80% order fulfillment performance seen the prior week.
This marks the fourth consecutive week that CN order fulfillment performance has reached or surpassed the 80% performance threshold.
CN performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for a forty-third straight week going back to week 51 of the prior grain year.
CPKC saw performance improve, with the railway supplying 92% of shipper orders in week 41, an improvement from the 88% order fulfillment performance seen in week 40.
This marks the first time the railway has posted order fulfillment performance of 90% or better since week 16 in late November.
