Operational Performance
BNSF operating teams are engaged in generating improved service performance across our network. Car velocity remains consistent with last week but is lower than the September average. While terminal dwell is higher than the average from last month, it has not changed significantly from the previous week and remains at record-low levels, with a year-to-date measurement 15% lower through September compared to the same period last year. Our local service compliance measure is trending close to 90%.

As reported yesterday, Union Pacific experienced a derailment on their Mojave Subdivision in California, where BNSF operates between Bakersfield and Mojave. The first main track has been returned to service overnight, while the second main track remains out of service as restoration efforts continue. An estimated time for reopening the second main track has not yet been determined. Customers may experience delays on shipments moving through the affected area until full service is restored and traffic has normalized.

Service Expectations for the Week Ahead
Severe storms are forecasted to impact Texas throughout the weekend, bringing the possibility of isolated tornadoes, wind gusts of up to 65 mph, and localized flash flooding. Today, heavy rain and storms could lead to flash flooding in parts of Kansas, Missouri, and much of Oklahoma, although conditions are expected to improve overnight. Additionally, significant rainfall will continue in the Pacific Northwest and northern California into Saturday. BNSF is closely monitoring the situation and will implement the necessary precautions to ensure safe and efficient operations.
