BNSF Automotive: 2021 Memorial Day Operating Plan

Date
May 20, 2021

TRAIN SERVICE
BNSF’s Automotive Memorial Day operating plan will remain focused on meeting customers’ expectations while matching operations to any reductions in traffic volumes. This year, the Memorial Day holiday falls on Monday, May 31.

BNSF will operate automotive trains over the Memorial Day holiday and our automotive facilities will remain fully-staffed and open for haulaway during normal scheduled hours. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic. Due to lighter traffic volumes over the holiday, we anticipate some extending of our service schedules as we consolidate volumes to fill trains. We expect that shipments arriving on the holiday, Monday, May 31, may experience delays of up to 24 hours.
