Since the start of the marketing year the railways have supplied 91% of all cars ordered for movement to Vancouver and 96% of cars ordered for movement to Thunder Bay, and 95% for other bulk movement.
By contrast, the railways have only supplied 73% of all cars requested for shipment to the United States and Mexico and 53% of all cars requested for movement to transloading facilities in Vancouver.
