BNSF Customers Invest More Than $5.3B in 2025

BNSF on March 26 announced that its customers have invested more than $5.3 billion in 2025, completing 117 rail-served projects, the highest number closed in the last six years, according to the Class I.

According to BNSF, these projects created more than 1,200 jobs across industrial, agricultural and consumer markets while “expanding production capacity, strengthening supply chains and supporting long-term economic growth.” Notable projects completed in 2025 include U.S. Steel and South Dakota Soybean Processors.

In addition to strong customer investment activity, BNSF recently welcomed a new Certified Site near Mobile, Ala., the first BNSF Certified Site to be served by a BNSF Shortline Select™ Partner, Genesee & Wyoming’s (G&W) Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway (AGR). The announcements, the Class I says, “further magnify BNSF’s commitment to growth through strategic partnerships.”

“The record number of projects completed in 2025 reflects strong customer investment and continued confidence in rail-supported growth,” said BNSF Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Tom Williams. “At the same time, expanding our portfolio of rail-ready sites strengthens the pipeline for future development, helping customers access markets, expand operations and execute long-term growth strategies with greater certainty.”
