Hey all 👋🏼 🤗 I've been absolutely swamped at work (an entire month on site, everyday!) but wanted to mention real quick that the #Chicago transit 🚆 🚂 system is facing a massive budget shortfall for 2026!

There is currently NO funding set aside in the '26 #illinois budget to address the crisis facing #Chicgoans who rely on #CTA #metra and #BNSF for work or ridership or both.

If you rely on these services or just like #walkablecities, #DSA #CDSA has prepared a short letter that you can submit to Gov. #pritzker in just a few clicks ! 🖱️

Tariff turmoil hits US intermodal, UK should take note http://dlvr.it/TLVtyp #BNSF #Business #CSX #Intermodal

first time I ever remember having an Amtrak train pulled by a BNSF engine.

#BNSF GE ES44ACs No. 5808 and No. 5728 traveling through Kingman Canyon, #Arizona ... but with faces. 5808 in front is enjoying the view, while 5728 watches a tumbleweed which had strayed onto 58's running board.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow I chose locomotive reflections in a large puddle, after some rain for #Reflections. #BNSF #Railroad #Locomotive #Photography #Trains

The Doobie Bothers always comes to mind when I look at this picture, and when I took it. Long Train Runnin. Without love where would you be now - and the harmonica might be more familiar than the title. #BNSF #Railroad #Railway #Locomotive #Coal #Photography

Testing the BlueSky water with a #Trains picture. Taken in Seattle, a BNSF locomotive headed south near Ballard. #Railroad #Railway #Photography #BNSF

#ThrowBackThursday

An old caboose in someone's side yard on Behrens Street in Napa, about half a mile from the nearest railroad tracks. Why there is a caboose in the neighborhood, I do not know.

In case you are interested, the side says Burlington Route, CB&Q 14322.

@coloradosun #BNSF Boulder Creek freight train #derailment citizen photo journalist follow-up: less than 48 hours after Thurs night derailment, BNSF crews mostly done. Sharing a few exclusive Sat. PM images incl. views from Foothills, as well as 55th (hospital in background). engines 4272, 758 upright and off the tracks, along with JB Hunt intermodal stacked boxes.
Let's talk about increasing freight rail safety, maybe put Uncle Sam in charge?

#BNSF freight train #derailment a giant mess.😕 #Boulder Creek path was closed for a while but it was open Friday night. Clean-up crews accessing tracks from Walnut & Pearl East Circle office park parking lots as well as 48th St. NE of Foothills Hospital. #BoulderCreek #Colorado

Story should have been updated. Disappointed with the Sun on this.
1) Police screwed up: not a crash of two trains! one long freight train derailed
2) "Pearl Parkway was closed near 48th and Arapahoe"
WTH. east-west Pearl Parkway is north of the railroad tracks, 48th and Arapahoe is on the south side. Maybe BPD PIO unfamiliar w/Boulder?
BTW, there are a few good TV news YouTube videos (and a few good clips on dead bird site)

In #Trains news:

Apparently #BNSF is spilling enough grain near Marias Pass that it will self-ferment, thereby acting as a brewery for the local bear (beer?) population.

(BNSF trains are then killing a handful of drunk bears every year, though, which is less amusing).

Safety Inspector Fired for Finding Too Many Defects Could Cost #BNSF Railroad Millions - Dude was fired for reporting the truth and his supervisor got a $20k bonus for getting rid of him and protecting corporate profits over passenger safety. Surprised? I didn’t think so. #Railroads #RailroadSafety #transportation #BurlingtonNorthernSantaFe #CorporateGreed https://jalopnik.com/safety-inspector-fired-for-finding-too-many-defects-cou-1850817520

#Chicago|land 🇺🇸 is home to a dense rail network. The western approach, nicknamed BNSF “Chicago Racetrack”, is among the country’s busiest railway lines. The stainless steel bi-level “Gallery Cars” designed by #Budd in the 1950s are still to be seen in #Metra #BNSF commuter trains.

But they mostly fall on deaf ears.

Just this morning: "A #BNSF train derailed on the #Swinomish Reservation in #Anacortes early Thursday morning and caused thousands of gallons of diesel to leak, the #WashingtonState Department of #Ecology reported." https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/bnsf-train-derails-spilling-diesel/281-a0ff4397-fa1d-48d6-928d-38aca1b91ed9 #environment #SalishSea #PNW #SkagitCounty #Skagit #PugetSound

I stand with the rail workers at BNSF in their efforts to get paid sick leave and paid time off. It’s wrong for them to be forced to work without these basic, fair labor practices. #BNSF #Railway #RailStrike #WarrenBuffet #Labor #FairLaborPractices #Union
