Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) reported a new January record for shipping Canadian grain and grain products, moving 2.395 million metric tonnes (MMT) in January 2026. This surpassed the previous January record set in 2023. The railroad also set a new monthly record with 24,688 carloads, beating the previous high from January 2023.
“By working closely with our grain customers and supply chain collaborators, our railroaders have delivered record amounts of grain and grain products across Western Canada to start the year,” said Jonathan Wahba, Senior Vice-President Sales and Marketing. He credited the performance to significant investments in grain-handling capacity and high-capacity hopper cars made by CPKC and its customers.
The volumes moving on CPKC’s railway exceed the average supply chain capacity targets outlined in its annual grain service plan. Wahba emphasized the importance of all supply chain participants, including loading facilities and terminal operators at ports, operating at full capacity to maintain this momentum.
Through the first 26 weeks of the 2025-2026 crop year, CPKC shipped more than 15.1 MMT of grain and grain products, marking the largest totals since the record-setting 2020-2021 crop year.
