Railway carloadings, June 2020
Although most jurisdictions had reopened their economies by June, Canadian railways reported the third consecutive month of declines of at least 10%, year over year, in the volume of freight transported by rail. In June, Canadian railways carried 29.8 million tonnes of freight, down 10.4% from June 2019. This followed the 12.9% year-over-year decrease reported in May. The decline in June was primarily attributable to weak demand for some key export commodities, despite increases in exports and imports—largely driven by parts and accessories for motor vehicles—reported in the June data on Canadian international merchandise trade.
