Grain Excluded From New Canadian Rail Freight Increases
Canada’s two large railways CP Rail and Canadian National say the six percent rise in normal and competitive freight tariffs does not apply to grain shipments within the country. The Railway Association noted the change affects about one third of freight traffic, with grain and flour between the U S and Canada and Canada domestic traffic largely unaffected. The increases target long haul shipments and are not required to be approved by the Canadian Transport Commission before taking effect. An estimated extra 25 million dollars in annual revenue is projected, while grain routes to and from the United States and within certain Atlantic areas may see different treatment under existing rates.
