At Burlington Northern Santa Fe, it’s the combination of people and technology that’s making the railway safer and more efficient.

BNSF Railway is spending $375 million in Texas and $110 million in Oklahoma as part of its $3.3 billion 2018 capital expenditure program that focuses on maintenance projects.

BNSF Railway has announced its 2018 expenditure program in Oklahoma, which totals about $110 million.

BNSF Railway, which is owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said Feb. 5 that it has joined the Blockchain in Transport Alliance, a group of more than 200 freight and logistics companies that are exploring how to use the digital-ledger technology in their industry.

BNSF Railway Co. plans to invest $3.3 billion in capital expenditures in 2018, including $2.4 billion in maintenance projects, according to a budget outline that roughly matches the same spending as 2017.

BNSF Railway reported profits rose 2% in the third quarter to $1 billion with strong results in all segments, except for agricultural products.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the parent company of BNSF Railway, reported net income fell 8.4% in the fourth quarter but, similar to other Class I railroads, the decline in the final three months was significantly less than earlier in 2016.

BNSF Railway Co. and Kansas City Southern will begin service from Chicago to Dallas and Mexico on Dec. 1, providing cross-border intermodal service five days a week.

A 100-acre storage area for automobiles in St. Paul Park, Minnesota, is a prospect local officials don’t like — but don’t think they can derail it.

BNSF Railway will offer intermodal customers a new service option to move commodities and a wide range of consumer goods between Portland, Oregon, or Seattle and the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
