Canadian grain producers expect rail service for the 2023-24 harvest year to meet market needs, though shippers are watching Class I railways CN and CPKC for readiness. Shippers are also monitoring grain export capacity at the Port of Vancouver and recovery from a July labor strike at Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
