BNSF Carload: Christmas and New Year’s Operating Plan

Date
Dec 10, 2021

TRAIN SERVICE
BNSF’s Carload Christmas and New Year’s operating plan will remain focused on meeting customers’ expectations while matching operations to rail volumes. This year, BNSF will observe the Christmas holiday on Friday, December 24, and Saturday, December 25, and the New Year’s holiday on Friday, December 31, and Saturday, January 1, 2022.

Train service will not be curtailed due to the holidays; however, BNSF plans to minimize the number of yard, local and road-switch assignments at terminals during the holidays consistent with customer activity and volume demand. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holidays may cause delays on interline traffic.
