From then to now: See how laying rail has changed as UP workers help to Build America. Photo 1: Employees about to “turn out” a section of old rail in 1955. Photo 2: Maintenance of way crews work at the diamond in Fort Worth. Photo 3: Maintenance of way employees in Houston.
Linking the Port of Los Angeles to major freight hubs in the east, our Needles Subdivision through inland California is one of the nation’s busiest corridors – but we understood that its 1.5% uphill track grade had become an operational bottleneck. We needed a solution, so we began the Needles Third Mainline Track Expansion Project, which adds a third track to the subdivision along nearly 30 miles of our Southern Transcon to increase traffic fluidity.
We’re proud to announce the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) recognized our Needles Third Mainline, Segments 1 and 2, project for the ACEC Engineering Honor Award for California.
The award celebrates engineering excellence by honoring projects demonstrating creative problem-solving and engineering’s ability to improve our world – we’re honored that ACEC believes BNSF’s Needles project exemplifies this!
