Cascadia Records

Our Cascadia terminal at the Port of Vancouver was the scene of several news records in October, including:
• Unloaded tonnes (743,502 MT vs. 699,971)
• Railcars (7,650 cars vs. 7,415 cars)
• Throughput (715,601 MT vs. 709,818 MT)
• Weekly unload record Oct. 16 - 22 (1,895 cars)
This is a testament to great teamwork across several parts of our business, along with support from our rail provider (CP), to ensure
that last mile service into the facility was efficient. Great job to everyone who was a part of this milestone!
