On September 16, 2026, CN (TSX: CNR) and Total Grain Marketing (TGM) shipped the first unit train from TGM’s expanded grain elevator at Lis, Illinois. The project includes a new 115-car loop track replacing an existing 25-car footprint, with added storage and receiving capacity. Specifically, the expansion features 3.1 million bushels of grain storage capacity and three truck dump pits that allow for receiving up to 85,000 bushels per hour, enabling unit trains to be loaded in as little as eight hours. This upgrade is expected to significantly enhance shipping efficiency for agricultural products.
