The West Coast Advantage
Capacity
The West Coast is the largest gateway between Asia and North America—and we deliver faster turn times and more frequent sailings so you can be connected to the markets you need to reach.
Flexibility
BNSF connects West Coast ports to all major inland markets via our extensive rail network—and we’re committed to delivering cost-efficient and dependable services that meet your needs.
Speed
West Coast ports offer the fastest routes, and with BNSF’s Southern Transcon line, you can be sure that you’ll get the fastest intermodal route between Southern California and the Midwest.
Trusted Reliability
Our capital investments in infrastructure and leverage of advanced technology initiatives ensure that your cargo is transported as safely, reliably and efficiently as possible.
Sustainability
No other form of land-freight transportation is more fuel- and resource-efficient than rail. Carbon emissions can be reduced up to 75 percent by using rail intermodal service as compared to trucks.
Advanced Technology
BNSF is innovating new ways to improve efficiency, safety and customer service with technologies like image analytics and machine learning to provide real-time visibility to thousands of containers.
“We have a seamless pick-up when we are
going in for our containers.”
