BNSF Carload 2022-2023 Christmas and New Year's Operating Plan

Date
Dec 1, 2022

TRAIN SERVICE
BNSF’s Carload Christmas and New Year's operating plan will remain focused on meeting customers' expectations while matching operations to rail volumes. This year, BNSF will observe the Christmas holiday on Saturday, December 24, and Sunday, December 25, and the New Year's holiday on Saturday, December 31, and Sunday, January 1, 2023.

Train service will not be curtailed due to the holidays; however, BNSF plans to minimize the number of yard, local, and road-switch assignments at terminals during the holidays consistent with customer activity and volume demand. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holidays may cause delays on interline traffic.

Please refer to Demurrage Tariff 6004-C to review the free time and charges for Christmas and New Year's.
