BNSF launches new shortline program with G&W’s Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway as premiere partner
BNSF Railway, one of North America’s leading transportation companies, announced this week the launch of its new shortline program, Shortline Select. The Class I railroad is partnering with Genesee & Wyoming’s Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway (AGR) as the first shortline railroad to participate.
Deep roots: BNSF employees bring agricultural upbringings to the railroad
Agriculture sustains America's food supply and energy needs. This industry and railroading have been closely linked since the 1800s, and the connection between the two remains strong. Many BNSF employees hail from rural areas or have strong ties to agriculture, which sparked their interest in joining the railroad.
This is who we are.
