The capital programme includes $US 450 million for 227 new locomotives,$US 350 million for wagons and other equipment and $US 300 million for
terminal and intermodal expansion projects. BNSF will also spend around
$US 300 million this year implementing Positive Train Control (PTC),
which will be installed over most of the US mainline rail network by
2015.
BNSF says its key expansion projects will be focussed on the
mid-continent and coal routes with the aim of improving transit times
and raising capacity.
