BNSF Railway

We are all about performance improvement! In 2009, we double-tracked a key segment of the Southern Transcon through Abo Canyon, New Mexico. This meant we were able to increase capacity for our rail network and keep trains moving through the region efficiently. In June this year, we added a 1,300-foot wind fence to a bridge passing through Abo Canyon to improve fluidity through the area during severe wind events. To see the story of how else we’ve grown our network, capital investments, services, facilities, fleet, and more – from our formation to our future plans – check out our Growth Timeline: https://bit.ly/4esvgkY

turn·ta·ble /?t?rn?tāb(?)l/ noun 1. a circular revolving platform for turning a railroad locomotive, known for fascinating train lovers of all ages. Turntables aren’t as common as they used to be, but these structures represent a fascinating chapter in rail history. To preserve a notable example, BNSF donated the historic Clyde turntable from its Cicero, Illinois, yard to Railroading Heritage of Midwest America. However, relocating this relic to its new home comes with a few challenges. See how BNSF partnered with RRHMA to get the job done: https://bit.ly/4fDab8c #railroad #history #historicpreservation

Monday was a big day for BNSF’s Emporia Subdivision! The last 3.5 of approximately 51 miles of new doubletrack were cut over, about halfway across our Southern Transcon route. This is our busiest corridor, stretching from Southern California to Chicago and a key route for intermodal trains. Pictured here is the first intermodal train to operate on the new line, a “Z” train, or a high-priority train. Big picture, we can now daily run multiple priority intermodal trains in and out of Southern California between key markets, with no need to stop a train every 10 miles to meet another – keeping the country well supplied! With this last piece of double track between Rose Hill and Mulvane, Kansas, there are now at least two main lines on nearly the entire Southern Transcon. After this, only two short pieces of single track are left: about 1.5 miles in Sibley, Missouri, and about 3 miles in Alva, Oklahoma.
