In the first of a two part topic, Milt and Greg walk through the concept of Precision-Scheduled Railroading -- why it's been widely adopted and the one North American exception.

Both railways continued their strong performance streak in Week 41. This week on Grain By Train, Greg and Milt break down the reasons why.

Greg and Milt cover the week 40 rail performance results and discuss how demand is contributing to the recent numbers. Plus, a new twist in the ongoing offers for Kansas City Southern.

With competing bids for Kansas City Southern Railway, both CP and CN are focusing on closing the deal. Greg and Milt take a look at what's at stake for Canadian Ag in the months ahead.

"All of those things are starting to suggest quite strongly that we're going to return to a historical level of demand through the spring and summer, unlike what we saw last year."

Are the railways back to business as usual? Milt is feeling optimistic. 

Strong performance continues for both railways in grain week 37,  but will a strike at the Port of Montreal pose a threat to recent improvements?

After nearly a year of missing the mark, CN managed to meet the 90% order fulfillment threshold in Grain Week 36. 

This week on Grain By Train, Greg and Milt cover the weekly report and early indications of where demand may be headed.

Despite some better performance from the railways in week 35, CN is still struggling to achieve consistent car spotting numbers. This week on Grain By Train, Greg and Milt discuss some of the reasons why.

Week 34 saw some improvements in rail performance for both railways. Greg and Milt cover the latest numbers. Plus, as we head into a time of year that typically begins to see a decline in demand, they discuss whether it looks like this trend will hold.

Greg and Milt take a look at rail performance trends over the past few years, and uncover some worrying trends. Plus, a discussion of what's to come for grain shippers as sectors outside of grain start to pick up again and place additional demand on the rail system.
