US class I railway invests in core network


BNSF Railway intends to spend USD 3.4 billion on capital expenditures in 2020. Similar to last year’s USD 3.9 billion plan, the major part of the strategy will be to replace and maintain BNSF’s core network and related assets.

 

Here, the funds will be used primarily for replacing and upgrading rail, rail ties and ballast (which are the main components for the tracks on which BNSF trains operate) and maintaining its rolling stock.

 

This year’s maintenance programme will include 32,000 km of track surfacing and/or undercutting work and the replacement of about 965 km of rail and nearly 3 million rail ties.
