CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 50% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 34, representing a slight decline from the 52% order fulfillment performance seen in week 33. 

On a combined basis, the railways have now not supplied more than 58% of shipper orders in a week for nine consecutive weeks, and have failed to reach the 70% threshold for twelve straight weeks. 

That’s according to the Ag Transport Coalition.

In supplying 56% of cars ordered by shippers in week 34, CN performance declined slightly from the 58% order fulfillment performance seen the prior week. 

CN performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for a thirty-sixth straight week going back to week 51 of the prior grain year. 

CPKC also saw performance decline slightly, with the railway supplying only 44% of shipper orders in week 34, down from 45% a week ago. 

CPKC has now not supplied more than 56% of shipper orders in a week for eleven consecutive weeks, averaging 47% weekly order fulfillment over that time period. 

CPKC performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for an eighteenth consecutive week.
