Wow is Cp off!!!
The Ag Transport Coalition released the railway performance measurement update for Grain Week 29 today (attached).
The report covers 90% of grain movement originating in Western Canada.
The weekly report details railway performance for the current grain year across a range of key indicators including rail car demand, railway car supply, timeliness of railway car supply in response to weekly customer orders, unfulfilled shipper demand, corridor performance, railway dwell times at origin and railway dwell times at destination.
Past weekly reports can be found on the Ag Transport Coalition website www.agtransportcoalition.com<http://www.agtransportcoalition.com>
Key figures from Grain Week 29:
- CN and CP supplied 1,823 (27%) of the 6,861 hopper cars ordered for delivery in Grain Week 29 representing a shortfall of 5,038 cars for Grain Week 29 orders.
- CN supplied 43% of cars for current week orders in non-bulk corridors and CP supplied 10% of orders.
- CN's loaded dwell times for multicar block traffic at country origin locations averaged 43 hours while CP's loaded dwell times averaged 89 hours.
- In the crop year to date, railways have supplied 43% of customer orders in the week for which cars were ordered.
- In the crop year to date, 35% of all bulk grain shipments have waited for more than 48 hours at origin for pick up by the railways after being released by shippers for movement to destination. Only 28% of shipments were picked up within 24 hours.
- In the crop year to date, railways have failed to supply 23,929 hopper cars ordered by shippers. This represents a shortfall equivalent to 11% of shipper demand.
Ag Transport Coalition members look forward to advancing discussions with Government and collaboration with the railways on next steps to ensure that the rail transportation system is meeting the needs of Canadian businesses, contributing to their competitiveness and supporting economic growth throughout Canada.
