BNSF Opens Tacoma Domestic Intermodal Facility in Collaboration with NWSA to Meet Increased Demand in the Pacific Northwest
BNSF has partnered with the Northwest Seaport Alliance to develop a new rail hub at the Port of Tacoma to meet increased intermodal demand in the greater Seattle region and unlock capacity. The new Tacoma South facility is part of a joint effort announced in March 2022 between J.B. Hunt and BNSF to substantially improve capacity in the intermodal marketplace.
Nine photos that reached the summit
We received a mountain of impressive entries for this year’s Landmarks Photo Contest, and it was difficult to choose winners. Thanks to all our participating railfans! Not only did these photographers capture some of the more stunning landmarks along our network, they also followed safety protocols and kept a safe distance from railroad tracks.
This is who we are.
