BNSF Automotive: Independence Day 2024 Operating Plan

Date
Jun 14, 2024

TRAIN SERVICE
This year, the Independence Day holiday falls on Thursday, July 4.

BNSF will operate automotive trains over the Independence Day holiday and our automotive facilities will remain fully-staffed and open for haulaway during normal scheduled hours. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic. Due to lighter traffic volumes over the holiday, we anticipate some extending of our service schedules as we consolidate volumes to fill trains. We expect that shipments arriving on the holiday, Thursday, July 4, may experience delays of up to 24 hours.
