BNSF Railway (short for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway) is one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America with over 8,000 locomotives It operates over 32,500 miles of track across 28 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate controlled by Warren Buffett (acquired in 2010). While Union Pacific owns the Tehachapi Loop seen here, BNSF has trackage rights, allowing its trains to use this route. | Dean Croke

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
