MONTREAL, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) announced today that in April it moved 3.2 million metric tonnes of grain from Western Canada, again setting a new monthly record for grain movement. That makes eight months of strong performance for this crop year, with seven months being new monthly records. CN's strong network performance is enabling a record-setting volume pace as a result of the steady export demand, the available grain and CN's efficient operations across both export corridors and within Canada and the US.
As farmers across Western Canada enter the seeding season, CN remains focused on providing consistent and reliable service to support the agricultural supply chain. The Company continues to work closely with customers and supply chain partners to ensure capacity is in place to meet ongoing demand and position the network for the upcoming crop year.
