BNSF Carload: Thanksgiving 2024 Operating Plan

Date
Nov 7, 2024

TRAIN SERVICE
This year, BNSF will observe the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29. Train service will not be curtailed due to the holiday; however, BNSF plans to minimize the number of yard, local and road-switch assignments at terminals during the holiday consistent with customer activity and volume demand. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic.

Please refer to Demurrage Tariff 6004-C to review the free time and charges for Thanksgiving – November 28-29, 2024.
