Highlights
In October, the volume of cargo carried by Canadian railways totalled 32.8 million tonnes of freight, up slightly (+0.5%) from October 2021.
Overall freight volume was just under the five-year average of 33.3 million tonnes for October, with a record-setting increase in carloadings of wheat offsetting large declines in several commodities, including coal and iron ore.
