BNSF Intermodal 2023 Thanksgiving Operating Plan

Date
Nov 3, 2023

TRAIN SERVICE
This year, BNSF will observe the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, November 23, and Friday, November 24. BNSF will continue to operate Intermodal trains over the holiday. However, due to lighter volumes of traffic and possible train consolidations, we anticipate shipments from Tuesday, November 21, through Monday, November 27 may experience delays of up to 48 hours. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic.

INTERMODAL FACILITY OPERATIONS
All BNSF Intermodal hubs will observe normal working hours during the holiday period. As a reminder, BNSF will add a standard $150 credit for every unit that outgates on a BNSF storage holiday (as defined in BNSF’s Intermodal R&PG) from any BNSF-operated intermodal facility (Group 1 or 2). Storage credits can be accessed and applied to any unit at any BNSF facility via the Storage Credit Tool.
