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 - October 1-10:
From Monday, September 3 through Wednesday, September 5.

Period 2 - October 11-20:
From Monday, September 10 through Wednesday, September 12.

Period 3 - October 21-30:
From Monday, September 17 through Wednesday, September 20.

BNSF will offer approximately 667 cars for each period of October.

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.
