This year, BNSF will observe the Christmas holiday on Wednesday, December 24, and Thursday, December 25, and the New Year's holiday on Wednesday, December 31, and Thursday, January 1, 2026.
BNSF will operate automotive trains over the holidays, and our automotive facilities will remain fully staffed and open for haulaway during normal scheduled hours. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations may cause delays on interline traffic. As a result, we anticipate some extending of our service schedules as we consolidate volumes to fill trains. We expect shipments arriving from Wednesday, December 24, through Saturday, January 3, 2026, may experience delays of 24 hours.
