  1. 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 ! 🖱️

  2. #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.

  3. 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

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

  5. #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.

    Let's talk about increasing freight rail safety, maybe put Uncle Sam in charge?

  7. 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).

  8. 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 jalopnik.com/safety-inspector-

  9. 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
