SPEED READ
• Loads on wheels:◦ On a network basis loads on wheels were largely unchanged overnight reflecting lower volumes on CN and higher volumes on CP. ◦ The net overall reflects a series of puts and takes across a number of corridors for both railways with the most significant changes being an increase
in Prince Rupert volumes for CN and higher volumes for CP in the Thunder Bay corridor.◦ Volumes in the Prince Rupert corridor increased considerably overnight and have now risen above 1,900 cars.
• Cars Not Moving:◦ The count of idle cars decreased overnight for CN offset somewhat by higher counts on CP and have now fallen below 2,000 cars.
• Port Unloads◦ West coast port unloads fell below the 1,000 car threshold for the first time in three days but remain on pace to exceed last week by 5%.
==========================================================================================================================
Loads on Wheels
• Loads on wheels declined slightly overnight, due to reduced volumes on CN offset by higher traffic on CP - combined total at 12,519 and 5% above the trailing 30-day average.
• On a net basis, the decline in loads on wheels reflects reduced volumes in the E. Canada, USA/MEX and Vancouver corridors offset by higher volumes in the Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay corridors.
• CN volumes decreased 4% (-266) overnight, with reduced volumes across all corridors other than Prince Rupert. System wide CN loads on wheels presently at 6,605 and 2% below the trailing 30-day average.
• CP volumes increased 5% (+296) overnight, driven by an increase in traffic across all corridors other than E. Canada. CP system wide loads on wheels presently at 5,702 and 14% above the trailing 30-day average.
• Vancouver presently at 6,721, declined slightly by (-11) overnight, now 4% below the trailing 30-day average.• The Prince Rupert pipeline presently at 1,921, increased for the third consecutive day, up 14% (+238) overnight, and 16% above the trailing 30-day
average.• Thunder Bay volumes rose for the fifth consecutive day, up 4% (+76) overnight - currently at 2,141, the highest seen in the last 30 days, with 74% of traffic
moving on CP.

Measurement Definitions
Loads on Wheels Count of loaded rail cars including all rail cars that have been released loaded at origin and have not been reported by the railway as unloaded at destination.
Counts include all rail cars (hopper cars and boxcars) moving within a pipeline.
Loads Not Moving Loaded rail cars for which the railways have not reported a movement event for 48 hours or more whether the rail car is at origin, enroute or at destination.
Port Unloads Count of rail cars reported by railways as unloaded at the western port destinations of Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay.
Unload counts include all rail cars (hopper cars and boxcars) unloaded by all receivers including major port terminals, transloaders and other receivers.
Cars Arrived Count of rail cars reported as arrived at the destination railway terminal.
Cars Received in Interchange Count of rail cars received in interchange by each railway within a destination railway terminal. Interchange activity is tracked for the Vancouver and Thunder Bay pipelines as applicable.
Cars Delivered in Interchange Count of rail cars delivered in interchange by each railway within a destination railway terminal. Interchange activity is tracked for the Vancouver and Thunder Bay pipelines as applicable.
Cars Placed for Unloading Count of rail cars reported by the railways as placed loaded at the receiver’s facility for unloading.
Loads on Wheels at Destination Count of rail cars that remain under load within the destination railway terminal including rail cars that have been reported as placed for unloading but not yet reported as unloaded.
Waiting Placement for Unloading Count of rail cars that have been reported as arrived at the destination railway terminal but not reported as placed for unloading by the railway.
For the Ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay the count of rail cars waiting placement for unloading is categorized by age – i.e. the elapsed time from arrival at destination to the current report date.
