Canadian National Railway (CNI) closed the 2025-2026 crop year with a record movement of more than 33.8 million metric tons of grain from Western Canada, beating the previous record of 32.6 million metric tons set in the 2024-2025 crop year, the company said on Tuesday.

The freight rail company said it moved 2.62 million metric tons of grain in July, up from the previous July record of 2.43 million metric tons sent in 2020.

The record performance was driven in part by strong customer demand, the company said.
