BNSF 3D Trains - BNSF Railway
BNSF trains can move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles on just one gallon of diesel fuel. We've upgraded the majority of our locomotives to more energy-efficient technologies over the last decade, helping us to make advances in increasing fuel efficiency and decreasing CO2 and particulate emissions.
