CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 83% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 6, an improvement from the 71% order fulfillment performance seen in week 5.
This represents the third consecutive week of improvement seen on a system basis and is the best week of performance we have seen thus far this grain year.
In supplying 87% of cars ordered by shippers in week 6, CN performance improved notably from the 65% order fulfillment performance seen the prior week.
CN performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for the eighth straight week, with the railway posting its best performance of the year so far.
CPKC performance improved slightly with the railway supplying 79% of shipper orders in week 6 as compared to 75% the prior week.
CPKC performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for a sixth straight week, and while this equals the railway’s best performance of the year seen in week 1, performance has yet to reach 80% in any week thus far this year
