Canada Transit
Through our partnership with Transport Canada, we provide free public access to a limited set of rail traffic data from the Canadian rail network.

Weekly Transit Data
The dataset linked in the buttons below is a summary of rail traffic detected by RailState’s national network of AI-backed sensors, as reported in Eastern Time. It shows a rolling 53 weeks of data from the most recent reporting period, reported once weekly, including:
- Train Count: For train types broken down by Bulk, Intermodal, Manifest & Automotive, Other.
- Speed: Average Speed and Standard Deviation Speed in miles per hour.
- Region: Movements between two connecting regions (this is not an indication of the movement’s ultimate origin or destination on the rail network).
- Cross-Border: Movements between points in Canada to/from the United States.
This public view does not include every rail line or route option between regions and does not contain any information specifying a single railway. See the definitions tab in the XLSX download for additional details about the dataset.
