BNSF Industrial Products: Independence Day 2025 Operating Plan

Date
Jun 20, 2025

This year, the Independence Day holiday falls on Friday, July 4. Train service will not be curtailed due to the holiday; however, BNSF plans to minimize the number of yard, local and road-switch assignments at terminals on Friday, July 4, consistent with customer activity and volume demand. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic. 

Please refer to Demurrage Tariff 6004-C to review the free time and charges for Independence Day.
