We’ve been a proud part of the Columbia River Gorge community for over a century, safely and efficiently moving commerce and passengers from, to, and through the Pacific Northwest. And, we’re doing our part to keep the Gorge a beautiful, national treasure: our operations are the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient of any surface transportation mode. Each BNSF train takes an average of 280 trucks off the highway; for the Columbia River Gorge that means avoiding 11,200 additional truck trips per day—or over 4 million per year! And all this public benefit comes without cost to the taxpayer.
