Following the resolution of the contract dispute at West Coast ports, BNSF Railway Co. (BNSF) has announced its readiness to handle an anticipated surge in intermodal volumes once freight levels in the region return to normal.

On April 1st, a BNSF train carrying ethanol and corn syrup derailed in Raymond, Minnesota, prompting residents to evacuate.

California’s High Desert is the home of a new BNSF project - a $1.5 billion intermodal complex meant to relieve some of the congestion at the west coast ports.

Shareholders who will be present at Warren Buffett’s first in-person Berkshire Hathaway Inc. meeting in over two years are expected to be greeted by a group of BNSF railroad workers who will be there to protest the lack of pay increases and safety issues on the job.
