🌟 In with the new, but remembering the old: Barstow yard bridge 🚆 Our Barstow, California yard is a critical hub for us, but it was beginning to show its age, including the North First Avenue Bridge. The truss bridge from the 1930s spanned 11 tracks, including three on our busy Southern Transcon route. A plan to demolish and replace the bridge with a modern concrete bridge was approved, with construction starting in 2023. The new bridge was completed and opened in July 2024. The century-old bridge is gone, but the city kept half a truss span as a remembrance. It features a retaining wall with a depiction of the old bridge, and two BNSF predecessor locomotives. #freight #rail #infrastructure #BarstowCA

Some of Santa’s helpers work at BNSF’s Fort Worth, Texas, headquarters, and since 1997, they’ve helped fill holiday needs and wishes. This year, they adopted 300 Salvation Army Angel Tree angels and collected more than 2,100 gifts for them. The gifts are being distributed to local children and seniors so they can share in the joy of Christmas. J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. also helped spread the holiday cheer, by generously donating a truck to transport gifts to the Salvation Army warehouse. Teams from different departments, including Network Development in Service Design and another from Labor Relations, helped at the Salvation Army warehouse. One group from our dispatcher team continued a decade-long tradition by helping sort donations into labeled boxes. Not only does the experience bring the teams closer, it’s also their way of giving back to the community. #communityinvolvement #volunteering #HappyHolidays

🚀 Crossing into the future: San Bernardino’s new bridge over railyard🚗 In 1934, the Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge opened to the San Bernadino, California, community, providing a vital link between the north and south sides of the city. The bridge also spanned BNSF’s intermodal facility, one of our busiest. Given the bridge’s age, funding was secured from sources including the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, and a plan was developed to replace it. Careful coordination was essential, because the bridge spans multiple yard, storage and mainline tracks. Construction began this year, and the new bridge is scheduled to be completed in August 2025. #freight #rail #infrastructure #SanBernardinoCA

BNSF Railway, in partnership with The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), announced today that members of the labor union have voted to ratify a new five-year collective bargaining agreement with the Class I railroad. The agreement gives covered employees certainty about upcoming enhancements to their pay, health care, and vacation. The tentative agreement provides a 3.5-percent average wage increase per year over the next five years. It also offers railroaders more vacation earlier in their career and meaningful enhancements to an already robust suite of health care benefits.

🚗 A bridge to better commutes: Santa Fe Springs tackles congestion 🚆 Until recently, the spot where BNSF’s track met the Rosecrans-Marquardt intersection in Santa Fe Springs, California was considered the busiest and most congested railroad crossing in the state, with 45,000 vehicles and 135 trains passing through every day. To address this, a $156 million publicly funded bridge was approved to be constructed over our tracks, removing the intersection. This successful separation of vehicle and train traffic not only benefits the Southern California community by mitigating traffic and improving safety, but also increases the fluidity of freight and passenger rail through our San Bernardino corridor. #freight #rail #infrastructure #SantaFeSpringsCA
