CPKC said it will continue to deliver industry-leading safe and reliable service to its grain customers.
As part of its 2026-2027 Grain Service Outlook Report, the railroad outlined its plan to continue providing transportation for Canadian grain and grain products, after near record volumes last year.
“As we approach the conclusion of the 2025–2026 crop year, CPKC is on track to reach near record volumes for the transportation of Canadian grain and grain products for the full crop year,” CPKC president and CEO Keith Creel said in the report. “The results of the 2025–2026 crop year continue to demonstrate the enduring commitment of this franchise to safe and efficient Canadian grain transportation.”
According to the report CPKC led the North American railway industry in safety performance, with the lowest Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) reportable train accident frequency among Class 1 railways.
Additionally, the company is on track to end the 2025-2026 crop year having transported more than 30 million metric tons of Canadian grain and grain products despite unpredictable demand variability. The company said an early start to winter, and weeks of inclement weather in Vancouver impacted the loading of grain by terminals to vessels at port. The company said it expects near record volume transported in 2026-2027, its highest annual total since the record-breaking 2020-2021 crop year.
“CPKC is once again well positioned to transport Canada’s rain crop to market,” Creel said. “We look forward to once again safely delivering grain service excellence throughout the 2026–2027 crop year.”
