Canadian Pacific Kansas City has broken its February monthly record for transporting Canadian grain and grain products, moving 2.232 million metric tonnes in February.

This new February achievement beat the previous tonnage record set in February 2021. Last month’s 23,088 carloads also set a new record for February, beating the previous high set in February 2021.

To begin 2026, CPKC set a new January monthly Canadian grain record, moving 2.395 MMT, beating the previous tonnage record set in January 2023. January’s 24,688 carloads also set a new monthly record, beating the previous high also set in January 2023.

Through the first 30 weeks of the 2025-2026 crop year, CPKC transported more than 17.1 MMT of Canadian grain and grain products. These are the largest Canadian grain totals since the record-setting 2020-2021 crop year.

In addition, February 2026 also set a February carload and monthly tonnage record for the most total grain moved in Canada and the United States on the CPKC network, with 46,896 carloads and approximately 4.501 MMT transported last month, exceeding the prior monthly records from 2024.

The volumes of Canadian grain and grain products moving on our railway in multiple weeks exceeded the average supply chain capacity targets outlined in our annual grain service plan.
