BNSF's 2015 capital program for its operations in Oklahoma will be an estimated $118 million for rail maintenance and capacity improvement projects.

 

BNSF’s maintenance program in Oklahoma will include 1,118 miles of track surfacing and undercutting work, the replacement of 38 miles of rail and about 40,000 ties.

BNSF’s 2015 capital projects in Oklahoma include improvements in the Cherokee Yard and constructing two double track segments on the Panhandle subdivision between Noel and Avard and Loder and milepost 323 totaling 18 miles resulting in the more efficient movement of trains.

In addition to Oklahoma, since announcing its plans to invest $6-billion in its system in 2015, the railroad has outlined specific state plans for Nebraska, Minnesota, Washington state, Illinois, North Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Colorado and Montana.
