Canadian National Railway Company (NYSE:CNI) is one of the Best Railroad Stocks to Invest In According to Billionaires. As of Q1 2026, 22 billionaires held the stock. On July 3, CNI said it set a new monthly grain movement record across its network, moving 2.67 million metric tonnes of grain from Western Canada in June. That surpassed the previous June record of 2.64 million metric tonnes set in 2020. The company said the result showed strong customer demand, supply-chain coordination, and operational flexibility despite heavy rainfall in parts of Western Canada.
The update is a clean railroad story because it concerns actual tonnage moved, not a branding exercise or distant capital plan. Grain traffic is also a useful test of network capacity because it depends on coordination between producers, elevators, rail crews, ports, and export customers. For CNI, the record adds a current operating data point to a large North American rail network already watched by institutional investors.
Canadian National Railway Company (NYSE:CNI) transports natural resources, manufactured products, and finished goods across North America through a rail network of nearly 20,000 route miles and related transportation services.
