Statistics Canada reports that the volume of cargo carried by Canadian railways reached 30.2 million tonnes in July, up 5.6% from July 2021 levels. Higher carloadings of energy products and potash helped contribute to this third consecutive month of year-over-year growth.<\/p>\n
The Federal Agency notes that, for July 2022, the overall freight volume was also the highest level since July 2019, before the pandemic, just under the five-year monthly average of 30.9 million tonnes.<\/p>\n
The tonnage of non-intermodal freight loadings was up for the third consecutive monthly year-over-year period, rising 7.1% year over year to 23.3 million tonnes in July, driven largely by increases in carloadings of some energy commodities.<\/p>\n
Domestic intermodal shipments-mainly containers-also contributed to the overall growth in freight traffic in July, rising 4.6% year over year to 3.0 million tonnes. This was the highest volume recorded for the month of July in three years.<\/p>\n
Freight traffic coming from the United States remained high in July despite a 1.6% dip from July 2021, after 15 consecutive monthly year-over-year gains. Tonnage edged down by about 61 000 tonnes to reach 3.8 million tonnes in July 2022-the third highest level on record for the month of July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
