BNSF Automotive 2026 Independence Day Operating Plan
Date
Jun 19, 2026
This year, the Independence Day holiday falls on Saturday, July 4. BNSF will operate automotive trains over the holiday, 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 on the holiday, Saturday, July 4, may experience delays of 24 hours.
