BNSF is excited to announce a fifth railroad to join its Shortline Select program, Red River Valley & Western Railroad (RRVW). RRVW operates more than 500 miles of track primarily in the southeast quarter of North Dakota and as far north as Maddock, ND. RRVW serves more than 70 customers, including 13-grain shuttle facilities, 33 grain elevators, and a number of processors. The Shortline Select program, which launched last fall, allows shortline railroads to share our enduring commitment to growth and service by providing expanded opportunities for customers to reach an even broader consumer base. The program also combines the benefit of shortline customized service with our vast network reach. Existing Shortline Select service partners include Genesee & Wyoming’s Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway (AGR), Burlington Junction Railway (BJRY), Genesee & Wyoming’s Portland & Western Railway (PNWR) and TNW Corporation’s Texas Northwestern Railroad (TXNW). We look forward to working with RRVW to enhance our service performance together. #freight #logistics #shortline #rail

More than 200 emergency responders recently took part in a large-scale hazardous materials training exercise on the Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile freight rail “expressway” connecting Southern California ports with BNSF. BNSF helped organize the drill, which included several emergency scenarios. Agencies that participated included the Los Angeles, LA County, Compton, Downey and Long Beach fire departments. The simulation gave responders an opportunity to hone their skills in responding to a hypothetical train-related hazmat situation. #freight #rail #safety #hazmat #California
