Automotive Network Update for Friday, February 13, 2026
Operational Performance
The BNSF network is in solid condition, with service performance continuing to strengthen following January’s winter weather. As we move further into February, key operating metrics are trending positively. Average car velocity has increased 2% compared to both last week and last month. Terminal dwell has improved by more than 8% week over week and nearly 5% month over month. Additionally, local service compliance has strengthened and now exceeds 90%.

Service Expectations for the Week Ahead
A storm system will bring rain, high winds and scattered thunderstorms Friday through Saturday evening across portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and the Lower Mississippi Valley, with the potential for isolated severe storms in some areas. BNSF teams are monitoring conditions and prepared to respond as needed.
The remainder of the BNSF network is expected to experience favorable operating conditions into early next week.
As always, we thank you for your business and appreciate the opportunity to serve as your transportation service provider. We welcome your feedback and questions.
