GROWTH & INVESTMENTS
THE LEADER IN FREIGHT AND RAIL
As a growing transportation network, BNSF is fully equipped to meet our customers' logistical needs. For example, our intermodal network starts with access to the largest North American gateways on the West Coast and offers the fastest transit to the largest U.S. inland markets. We've built a superhighway between L.A. and Chicago that's nearly 100% double-tracked, and in many locations triple- or quadruple-tracked, for speed and efficiency that only BNSF can deliver.
BNSF is unique in our approach of prioritizing customer-centric land development. Our Logistics Parks and Logistics Centers strategically position customers closer to the markets they serve so they can streamline their supply chains. We develop these facilities ourselves, cutting out the middleman, so we can expand faster and provide consistently reliable service.
