BNSF Railway (reporting mark BNSF) is the largest freight railroad in the United States. One of six North American Class I railroads, BNSF has 36,000 employees, [1] 33,400 miles (53,800 km) of track in 28 states, and over 8,000 locomotives. [2]
The project, called RailPulse, comes as the $99-billion U.S. freight railroad industry seeks to bolster volume that has been stagnant for more than a decade and as customers demand better service.
From 1873 to 1881 the Texas and Pacific built a total of 972 miles (1,560 km) of track; as a result it was entitled to land grants totalling 12,441,600 acres (50,349 km 2). T&P, however, received land only for the construction of track east of Fort Worth. This meant the firm received only 5,173,120 acres (20,935 km 2).
