Year-to-date Canadian rail volume through week forty-three totaled 6,966,014 units, up 1.8% compared with the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Mexico, weekly rail activity continued to outperform year-ago levels. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Mexican railroads handled 12,393 carloads, up 14.7%, and 14,843 intermodal units<\/strong>,<\/span> up 33.0% from the same week in 2024, for a total of 27,236 units, up 24.0% year-over-year. Despite the strong weekly performance, cumulative Mexican rail volume through the first forty-three weeks of 2025 totaled 1,032,342 carloads and intermodal units, down 3.8% from the same point in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Automotives<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automotive supply chain, a cornerstone of North American rail freight, is now facing an immediate and escalating production crisis. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The 11.5% year-over-year plunge in &#8220;Motor Vehicles &amp; Parts&#8221; carloads seen in the Week 43 data is confirmed to be the leading edge of a severe supply shock, not a simple market fluctuation.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Last Friday the geopolitical dispute over chipmaker Nexperia escalated dramatically. The company suspended supplies to its own Chinese assembly plant, a critical link in the global supply chain.<\/span><\/strong> The impact is no longer theoretical. Honda has already cut production by half at its Alliston, Ontario plant, which builds the Civic and CR-V. Nissan and European manufacturers like Volkswagen, BMW, and Stellantis are warning they are just &#8220;days away&#8221; from full assembly line stoppages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Nexperia crisis, which MEMA warns could cause &#8220;significant impacts&#8221; at U.S. plants within weeks, is hitting an already volatile sector. The auto market is simultaneously grappling with a forecasted &#8220;collapse&#8221; in EV demand as federal tax credits expired at the end of September and a new, independent strike authorization by UAW members at Volkswagen&#8217;s Chattanooga plant. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The 11.5% carload drop is the first statistical proof of a crisis that will directly and negatively impact rail volumes for the remainder of the quarter.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A Tale of Two Economies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aggregate 0.9% dip in U.S. carloads for Week 43 masks a sharp, bifurcated market. Resilience in the industrial-facing economy, led by a strong 8.1% year-over-year gain in Metallic Ores &amp; Metals, is being canceled out by the collapse in consumer-facing goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The 6.1% drop in U.S. intermodal traffic is a clear reflection of a cooling consumer economy and weaker import volumes.<\/span><\/strong> The October ITS Logistics Index confirms this, pointing to a continued downward trend in import volumes as many shippers front-loaded holiday freight earlier in the year to hedge against uncertainty.&nbsp; <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">While this has eased congestion at rail ramps, it is creating a severe crisis at the first and last mile<\/span>.<\/strong> The drayage market is facing a surge in bankruptcies among small- and mid-size carriers, threatening a future capacity crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The drayage market&#8217;s structural crisis\u2014with over 7,500 carriers exiting in Q2 and drayage-intensive Chicago seeing 33% of recent bankruptcy filings\u2014is paradoxically supporting rail demand.<\/span><\/strong> Limited short-haul capacity is pushing shippers toward rail intermodal solutions for first\/last mile gaps, potentially offsetting broader volume softness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Mexican Boom<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The geographic split in North America volumes is telling. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">While the U.S. (-3.8%) and Canadian (-3.1%) networks contracted, Mexican rail traffic posted an explosive, double-digit boom.<\/span><\/strong> Mexican carloads surged 14.7% and intermodal traffic skyrocketed 33.0% year-over-year. This weekly surge violently reverses a negative year-to-date trend for Mexican rail. This is not an anomaly; it is the first concrete statistical proof of the CPKC single-line merger thesis playing out, as freight is aggressively diverted to its new, seamless transnational network, a trend supported by reports of OEMs like Honda and Nissan increasing rail exports from Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Mexico boom reflects permanent, structural supply chain regionalization, not temporary tariff dynamics<\/span>.<\/strong> CPKC&#8217;s integrated single-line network, combined with infrastructure investments (Laredo bridge, Green Corridors automation), is positioning the carrier to capture outsized volume growth from OEM Mexican facility expansion and agricultural export growth (+$53B forecast by 2030). <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">This is a multi-year tailwind, not a bounce.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Grains<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4.7% year-over-year drop in U.S. grain carloads is not a story of poor supply. It is a story of <em>demand displacement<\/em>. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A strong local corn harvest in the U.S. Southeast is satisfying regional feed demand, reducing the need for long-haul rail from the Midwest.<\/span><\/strong> This is confirmed by CSX&#8217;s new tariffs and its own forecast of lower domestic grain demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian network faces the exact opposite scenario: a supply surge. A record Canadian corn crop is forecast, along with strong yields for canola and barley in the prairie provinces. CPKC&#8217;s own data confirms this, showing that Week 43 was its <em>seventh consecutive week<\/em> moving over 600,000 metric tonnes of Canadian grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Class I Performance<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance gap between Canada&#8217;s two Class I carriers is widening, and the market is paying close attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) continues to set the benchmark for fluid, resilient operation<\/span>.<\/strong> Week 43 metrics underscore its strength: average train speed remained elevated at 19.9 MPH, and terminal dwell held at a low 8.7 hours. CPKC&#8217;s Q3 results were robust, and the network is absorbing rising agricultural volumes while aggressively expanding in the booming Mexico corridor. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">With seamless cross-border service and infrastructure upgrades, CPKC appears perfectly positioned to capitalize on multi-year structural trends in grain and intermodal flows.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Canadian National (CN), by contrast, is pivoting sharply from growth to defense. CN just announced the layoff of approximately 400 managers<\/span><\/strong>\u2014about 6% of its non-union workforce\u2014in the largest restructuring in its history. The timing coincides with sliding freight volumes, steep new tariffs on steel, autos, aluminum, and lumber, and persistent weakness in intermodal demand. Bulk shipments are not filling the gap. New leadership appointments (Patrick Whitehead as COO, Janet Drysdale as CCO) signal a realignment of both operations and customer strategy heading into 2026, but also underscore the urgency to maintain margins in a tough business climate.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operational issues are compounding the challenge: CN&#8217;s average train speed fell by 6.0% year-over-year in Week 43, revenue ton-miles dropped 1.1%, and carloads declined 4.1%. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Shippers are facing slower answers and fewer touchpoints as a result of the restructuring\u2014raising concerns about customer service and responsiveness<\/span>.<\/strong> While the company frames this as a &#8220;headcount adjustment,&#8221; the timing and scale suggest deeper retrenchment consistent with a downturn in cross-border trade and tariff-driven contraction.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">As CN prepares to report Q3 earnings, the market will be watching for signs that this is a one-time correction\u2014or the first step in a broader retrenchment. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Rival CPKC reported profit growth despite similar challenges, highlighting CN&#8217;s struggles to maintain operational momentum.<\/span><\/strong> The Canadian Class I bifurcation is clear: CPKC remains on offense, while CN is forced into defensive maneuvers, risking further market share losses if operational execution does not quickly improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Source Data: AAR &#8211; PFL Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"north-american-rig-count-summary\"><u><strong>North American Rig Count Summary<\/strong><\/u><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"rig-count\"><strong><u>Rig Count<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">North American rig count was down by -16 rigs week-over-week.

In a move that some critics called \u201cweak\u201d and \u201cmisguided,\u201d Carney told Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to run the ad\u2014but Ford ignored his advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Carney admitted, \u201cI\u2019m the one who is responsible, in my role as Prime Minister, for the relationship with the president of the U.S.,\u201d framing the entire incident as a federal failure to manage vital U.S.-Canada relations.<\/span><\/strong> While apologizing to Trump at the APEC summit, Carney emphasized the importance of the relationship but failed to secure any progress: trade talks remain frozen, and U.S. tariffs have only escalated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Canadian businesses\u2014especially rail shippers and exporters\u2014<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Carney\u2019s approach has invited bipartisan criticism.
