BNSF Automotive: 2023 Christmas and New Year's Operating Plan

TRAIN SERVICE
This year, BNSF will observe the Christmas holiday on Sunday, December 24, and Monday, December 25, and the New Year's holiday on Sunday, December 31, and Monday, January 1, 2024.

The number of trains operating on BNSF track is typically lower over the Christmas and New Year's holidays due to reduced freight volume. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic. As a result, we anticipate some extending of our service schedules as we consolidate volumes to fill trains. We expect shipments from Sunday, December 24, through Wednesday, January 3, 2024, may experience delays of 24 hours.
