Grain Transportation Report, July 18, 2024
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CPKC indicated the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) expects to reach a decision by August 9, 2024.Since late May, CIRB is reviewing what, if any, rail service must continue in the event of a rail strike.Per Canada's Labor Code, CIRB may order certain rail service "to prevent an immediate and serious danger to the safety or health of the public."In early May (and again in late June), the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC)-a union of almost 10,000 Canadian rail workersvoted to authorize strikes at both railroads.A work stoppage requires at least 72-hours' notice and cannot occur until CIRB weighs in.If such a strike or lockout occurs, it could significantly impact U.S. agricultural trade, producers, and consumers.In 2023, Canada was the top destination for U.S. ethanol exports; the fourth-largest destination for U.S. soybean meal and rice exports; and the fifth-largest destination for U.S. exports of corn and distillers' dried grains with solubles.About half of U.S. cereal grain exports to Canada (by value) go by rail.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
