As a new addition to our safety program, BNSF now hosts Safety Engagement Weeks. During these weeks, our safety leaders connect directly with teams in our engineering, mechanical and transportation departments in the field to discuss potential issues, trends and best practices. These events help to maintain our strong safety focus and reinforce our safety-first culture.

No taking it easy for BNSF in Winslow, Arizona! We're investing in longer tracks, more advanced switches, and smarter yard design to reduce delays, improve safety, and increase capacity on one of our most important corridors. What happens in Winslow doesn't stay in Winslow. It helps trains move along our network more efficiently far beyond Arizona.
Our Rail Talk blog has the details on what’s changing and why it matters: bnsf.com/news-media/railtalk…

2025 was a big year for customer investment on BNSF's rail network! Our customers invested more than $5.3 billion, completing 117 rail-served facility projects on our network. This was the biggest number in the past six years.
These projects created more than 1,200 jobs, expanded production capacity, strengthened supply chains and supported long-term economic growth.
We also recently welcomed a new Certified Site near Mobile, Alabama, the first BNSF Certified Site to be served by a BNSF Shortline Select™ Partner, Genesee & Wyoming’s (G&W) Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway (AGR).
The announcements further magnify BNSF’s commitment to growth through strategic partnerships.
