    Question

    Canadian National Runs First Grain Unit Train from Expanded Illinois Facility

    Direct answer

    Canadian National Railway announced the successful shipment of its first unit train from the newly expanded Total Grain Marketing (TGM) terminal in Lis, Illinois. The infrastructure investment added 3.1 million bushels of storage capacity. With grain receiving capacity increased to 85,000 bushels per hour, the facility enables faster train loading cycles, expanding rail throughput capacity along critical agricultural export corridors heading into the North American fall harvest.
