CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 84% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 7, a slight improvement from the 83% order fulfillment performance seen in week 6. 

This represents the fourth 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 86% of cars ordered by shippers in week 7, CN performance saw a modest decline from the 87% order fulfillment performance seen the prior week. 

CN performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for the ninth straight week. 

CPKC performance improved, with the railway supplying 82% of shipper orders in week 7 as compared to 79% the prior week. 

This represents CPKC’s best performance in any week of the current grain year. 

CPKC performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for a seventh straight week.
