In order to ensure an equal distribution of tariff cars to our customers, BNSF is currently offering all tariff cars (singles and units) through our General Tariff Lottery Program. The program will consist of three (3) mini-lotteries for both single and unit requests each month.

The want dates available for tariff cars will be divided into three (3) 10-day periods for each month.

BNSF will offer tariff cars as follows:

Period 1 - September 1-10:
From Monday, August 6 through Wednesday, August 8.

Period 2 - September 11-20:
From Monday, August 13 through Wednesday, August 15.

Period 3 - September 21-30:
From Monday, August 20 through Wednesday, August 22.

BNSF will offer 667 cars for each period of June.

Outstanding car orders that have not been awarded must be re-submitted to retain their priority.

For further details, please review the General Tariff Grain Unit Train and Single Car Request Policy and Procedures Statement.
