BNSF Carload: 2024 Christmas and New Year's Operating Plan

TRAIN SERVICE
This year, BNSF will observe the Christmas holiday on Tuesday, December 24, and Wednesday, December 25, and the New Year's holiday on Tuesday, December 31, and Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

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.
