BNSF Intermodal 2026 Independence Day Operating Plan

This year, the Independence Day holiday falls on Saturday, July 4. The number of trains operating on BNSF track is typically lower over the holiday due to reduced freight volume. BNSF's Intermodal holiday operating plan will adjust operations to account for this potential reduction in traffic. As a result, shipments from Saturday, July 4, through noon on Monday, July 6, 2026, may experience delays of approximately 24 hours. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic.
