CN Rail says grain movement is on record pace after a slow start last fall, due to wet conditions at harvest.
Director of Grain Marketing David Przednowek talked about how grain has been moving so far this year.
"Once demand really started rolling in September, we've been setting record volumes from September all the way through February," he said. "In fact, two weeks ago we just billed 5,700 cars in a week."
Przednowek notes the average number for this time of year is about 4,000 cars per week.
He says the increase in grain movement has been made possible thanks to infrastructure investments by all players in the supply chain, including CN.
