Coal
Make BNSF Rail Your Service of Choice
More than 10 percent of the electricity produced in the United States, enough to power one out of every ten homes in the nation, is now generated from coal hauled by BNSF. The demand for cleaner burning, low sulfur coal like that found in the Powder River Basin will continue to grow in the decade ahead. So BNSF is continuing to devote our energy to improving and expanding our coal service to meet customers’ needs and to help keep America’s energy flowing.
