BNSF's Salmon Bay bridge in Seattle is an important component of our 32,500-mile network, connecting critical parts of the Pacific Northwest to the rest of the U.S. supply chain. We're replacing the counterweight, which allows the bridge to open, so that we can continue to operate safely and efficiently. Replacing the counterweight rather than replacing the entire bridge will minimize the project’s impact on the surrounding area. | BNSF Railway

American agriculture and BNSF Railway go back a long way. In the early years, producers and the railroad depended on each other and survived and flourished because of each other. Today, that relationship still powers BNSF. The evolution of American agriculture has driven the U.S. food supply chain to become the most productive in the world, and we at BNSF are proud to help get American farms’ bounty to tables around the world. | BNSF Railway
