At BNSF Railway, protecting the planet isn’t just something we talk about on Earth Day. It’s part of what we do every day. Rail is already the most environmentally friendly way to move freight on land, and we’re proud to lead the way in making it even better.
From the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, and San Diego, our trains keep California’s economy moving, delivering the goods people count on while cutting highway congestion and slashing carbon emissions. In the past decade alone, we’ve upgraded much of our California fleet with more energy-efficient, low-emission locomotives, boosting fuel efficiency by 10% and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 14%. We’ve also rebuilt more than 3,000 locomotives to further reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution.
This Earth Day, we’re proud to reaffirm our commitment to making transportation more sustainable—for California and our future.
