CN and CPKC Rail supplied a combined 56% of hopper cars ordered in grain week 32, representing a slight decline from the 58% order fulfillment performance seen in week 31.
The railways still have been unable to fulfill more than 58% of shipper orders over the last seven weeks.
That’s according to the Ag Transport Coalition.
In supplying 56% of cars ordered by shippers in week 32, CN performance declined from the 67% order fulfillment performance seen the prior week, having now declined for two consecutive weeks.
CN performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for a thirty-fourth straight week.
CPKC saw performance improve once again, with the railway supplying 56% of shipper orders in week 32 as compared to the 45% order fulfillment performance seen the prior week.
This represents CPKC’s best performance over the last nine weeks.
CPKC performance remains below the 90% performance threshold for a sixteenth consecutive week.
