Canadian National Railway Co. (NYSE: CNI) moved 2.96 million metric tonnes of grain from Western Canada in May, setting a new monthly record. The volume exceeded the previous record of 2.54 million metric tonnes established in May 2025.

The Montreal-based railway company attributed the performance to sustained export demand, ample grain supply and efficient network operations. CN continues to transport high volumes through its Canadian export corridors while maintaining supply chain fluidity.

The railway said it remains focused on delivering service to support producers, grain companies and supply chain partners as the growing season begins across Western Canada. The company stated it is positioning its network to support current shipping needs and maintain performance into the next crop year through ongoing collaboration with customers and partners.

CN operates a nearly 20,000-mile rail network connecting Canada's Eastern and Western coasts with the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast. The company transports more than 300 million tons of natural resources, manufactured products and finished goods throughout North America annually.
