Kansas City Missouri USA - KCS yesterday announced that it reached record daily average grain carloads in November, breaking the high-water mark set just the previous month in October.
 
The Class I broke its record by providing all-time-low cross-border, grain-shuttle train cycle times, KCS officials said in a press release.
 
KCS receives and originates shipments of grain and grain products for deliveries in the United States and Mexico.
 
Cross-border grain shipments represent some of the longest lengths of haul on its network, originating in the U.S. Midwest and terminating in central and southern Mexico.
 
An intense cross-functional focus on customer service and operational performance is driving near-record velocity and dwell performance, KCS officials said.
