CN
CN moved more than 3.28 million metric tons of grain from Western Canada last month, higher by 230,000 metric tons from its previous set record for November in 2020, the Class I reported in a Dec. 8 grain movement report. This is CN’s third consecutive record month for grain movement.
“Achieving a third consecutive record month of grain movement demonstrates what’s possible with strong customer collaboration, thoughtful planning, and a dedicated team of railroaders,” said CN Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer Janet Drysdale.
CN says it continues to execute its winter operations plan across the network as the colder months have begun. More information and details about how the company has put proactive solutions is available here.
Separately, CN recently debuted a special CN locomotive. Painted with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline number, “it’s a rolling symbol of care, support, and looking out for each other, wherever the rails lead,” the Class I said in a LinkedIn post.
“Thank you Progress Rail, A Caterpillar Company for generously helping us spread this important message: You are not alone.”
CSX
The CSX Locomotive Service Team in Toledo, Ohio, recently achieved 11 years injury-free—a true safety milestone. “One CSX teamwork, open communication, and a safety-first mindset made it possible,” the Class I wrote in an X post. “Thanks, Toledo team, for setting the bar high and being a true example of a Safe CSX operation.”
CPKC
Last week, CPKC took delivery of its 100th Tier 4 Wabtec Corporation Evolution Series diesel electric locomotive, unit number CP 7549, as part of a multi-year investment in American manufactured locomotive power.
“These locomotives, being built in Fort Worth, Texas, already are in service supporting the execution of our precision scheduled railroading operating model and helping us provide even more efficient and reliable service to our customers across the North American economy,” the Class I wrote in a LinkedIn post.
