Canadian National Railway Company set a new monthly record for propane shipments to Watson Island in May 2026, with carloads rising 40% year-over-year. The milestone surpassed the previous record from August 2024 and reflects stronger throughput on the South Beamer-to-Watson Island corridor, driven by robust export demand and operational improvements such as train length optimization and better asset utilization. The achievement reinforces CNI's strategic role in Canada's energy export supply chain, enabling producers and terminal operators to capitalize on international demand. Continued collaboration with partners like Pembina and a focus on network efficiency are expected to support higher freight volumes and long-term revenue growth.
