BNSF Railway Company

BNSF serves more of the nation's major grain-producing regions than any other railroad. BNSF is one of the largest grain-hauling railroads in the United States. In 2005, BNSF transported more than 900,000 carloads of agricultural commodities, nearly half of which were corn and wheat movements. BNSF hauls enough grain to supply 900 million people with a year's supply of bread. Approximately 50 percent of the agricultural commodities traffic BNSF hauls is transported to export points in the Pacific Northwest, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico and the Great Lakes. BNSF hauls enough fertilizer in one year to fertilize a field the size of the entire state of Kansas. ( www.bnsf.railprices.com )
