BNSF Railway

Mother Nature gets a vote, but so do we. BNSF crews responded aggressively to restore rail service in locations hit by major flooding in the South and Midwest this month. Here's how we brought the network back to operational status quickly and safely - including replacing a washed-out bridge in five days! https://lnkd.in/ecbksZpT #freight #logistics #flooding

Different types of railcars have unique characteristics, each marching to the beat of its own drum -- from hopper cars that keep grain moving to boxcars that have withstood the test of time. 🎵 It got us thinking -- what if railcars had theme songs? So we came up with some! Learn more about the types of railcars we operate, what they do and what their theme song says about them. Jam out to our railcar guide playlist: https://bit.ly/42yjG3n. What other railcars and songs would you add to the list? #railcars #railroad #music #BNSF #playlist

This state on BNSF’s rail network was the first to sell Girl Scout cookies in 1917. Any guesses? 🍪 #statefunfacts #BNSF #freight

BNSF crews have responded swiftly to recover service after a powerful storm system hit our Heartland Division last week. Thunderstorms, tornadoes, high winds and flooding caused operations to halt on our River, Thayer North and Thayer South subdivisions in Missouri and Arkansas. Crews returned the Thayer North Subdivision to service on Sunday, April 6. In Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, on the Thayer South Subdivision, flooding washed away a rail bridge over the Warm Fork Spring River April 5. BNSF crews replaced the bridge and returned the subdivision to service by 7:05 a.m. today, April 10. The photo shows the first train traveling over the new bridge. Crews estimate the River Subdivision will return to service by early morning tomorrow. We will share more of our response to this major weather event on our Rail Talk blog soon. Thank you to our employees for all you've done this week, safely and efficiently, for our customers! #freight #flooding #Arkansas #Missouri

Our Engineering Team was given a big challenge recently -- complete a significant list of upgrades at our Tulsa, Oklahoma hump yard while minimizing disruptions to our customers. These upgrades will enhance the reliability of our track and equipment. It's all about serving our customers better for the long haul. Still, the shorter the interruption, the better. See how our crews got the job done safely and efficiently: https://lnkd.in/edmEwJ3J #freight #infrastructure #Tulsa
