en.Wedoany.com Reported - BNSF Railway has announced its 2026 capital investment plan totaling $3.6 billion, with $2.8 billion allocated for physical maintenance of the freight network.

Maintenance projects cover the replacement and upgrade of track infrastructure, including rails, ballast, and ties, as well as maintenance of rolling stock. Specific operations involve surfacing or undercutting approximately 13,000 miles of track, replacing 2.5 million ties and over 400 miles of rail.

The railroad, based in Fort Worth, Texas, stated that investing in existing infrastructure helps reduce unplanned service interruptions, which slow down rail network speeds and reduce capacity.

Expansion and efficiency improvement projects received a $358 million allocation, including completing property acquisitions, advancing development activities for the Barstow International Gateway project in California, and developing and initiating construction of a future intermodal facility in the Phoenix area.

Line expansion projects include track expansions at BNSF yards in Galesburg, Illinois, and Winslow, Arizona, to enhance classification capacity, supporting network service performance and asset (railcar and locomotive) productivity plans.
