BNSF Automotive: Thanksgiving 2022 Operating Plan

Date
Nov 1, 2022

TRAIN SERVICE
BNSF’s Automotive Thanksgiving operating plan will remain focused on meeting customers’ expectations while matching operations to rail volumes. This year, BNSF will observe the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, November 24, and Friday, November 25.

BNSF will operate automotive trains over the Thanksgiving holiday, and our automotive facilities will remain fully staffed and open for haulaway during normal scheduled hours. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic. Due to lighter traffic volumes over the holiday, we anticipate some extending of our service schedules as we consolidate volumes to fill trains. We expect shipments arriving from Wednesday, November 23, through Monday, November 28, may experience delays of up to 48 hours.
