Total carload volumes have increased at a 0.3% CAGR since 2000, but declined
0.4% CAGR since 2006. The decline has largely been driven by sulphur and
fertilizers (-10.4% CAGR) and forest products (-6.9% CAGR) which offset solid
growth in industrial and consumer product carloads (5.9% CAGR). Interestingly,
however, those commodities which saw the largest carload declines exhibited the
strongest yield growth - sulphur and fertilizers rev/carload increased 6.8% CAGR
and forest products increased 5.9% CAGR - as CP elected to move more profitable
freight. Overall revenue per carload has increased at a 3.6% CAGR since 2006.
In the figures below we provide historical and our forecasted carload and yield
trends followed by a more granular breakdown of CP's key commodity groups
and our thoughts moving forward.

Commodity breakdown
Below we breakdown the key revenue categories for CP and the drivers behind
them.
Grain - the largest revenue contributor for CP accounting for 24% of total revenue
in 2016. Grain revenue has increased at a 5.0% CAGR since 2006 amidst modest
volume growth (1.2% CAGR) and strong improvement in yields (+3.8% CAGR). We
note that roughly 2/3 of CP's grain business is Canadian grain which is transported
from the Canadian Prairies (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) to Canadian ports
for export and to eastern Canada, the U.S. and Mexico for domestic consumption.
Roughly 70% of that grain is regulated by the Canadian government via the
Canada Transportation Act (CTA) which carries an annual revenue cap. The
remaining third of grain revenue comes from the U.S which is used for both
exports and domestic consumption. Recently, it has been a tale of two stories as
U.S. grain volumes were down 24% yoy in the most recent quarter while Canadian
grain volumes were up 4% yoy. While current crop forecasts are calling for a
nearly 10% reduction in Canadian grain production in the 2017/18 crop year, we
believe increased demand for CP's dedicated train program will help offset some
of these headwinds.
