BNSF Train & Cars
New Mexico Train Art
While going thru the American midwest on my way to Los Angeles, I passed a town that struck my horse fancy named, Gallup, New Mexico. You see, I had been chasing a BNSF train for sometime that afternoon speeding ahead of it on the I-40 expressway and stopping at spots where I could get some great images of this looooong train with five locomotives pulling and two locomotives pushing. Well, it stopped in Gallup, New Mexico long enough for me to set up for other great shots in this collection with the perfect backdrop of the town! Here the train is wide open and moving on with the end cars far out of this images sight!......Enjoy!
Buy this great image for the train lover in your family!
The BNSF Railway Company (reporting mark BNSF) is one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America, second to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), its primary competitor for Western U.S. freight. BNSF is one of seven North American Class I railroads and has 44,000 employees, 32,500 miles (52,300 km) of track in 28 states, and more than 8,000 locomotives.
It has three transcontinental routes that provide rail connections between the western and eastern United States. BNSF trains traveled over 169 million miles (272 million km) in 2010, more than any other North American railroad. The BNSF and UP have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the Western U.S. and share trackage rights over thousands of miles of track.
The BNSF Railway Company is the principal operating subsidiary of parent company Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, the railroad's parent company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.
According to corporate press releases, the BNSF Railway is among the top transporters of intermodal freight in North America. It also hauls bulk cargo. For instance, the railroad hauls enough coal to generate around ten per cent of the electricity produced in the United States.
The creation of BNSF started with the formation of a holding company on September 22, 1995. This new holding company purchased the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (often called the "Santa Fe") and Burlington Northern Railroad, and formally merged the railways into the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway on December 31, 1996. On January 24, 2005, the railroad's name was officially changed to "BNSF Railway," using the initials of its original name.
