FORT WORTH, Texas, - BNSF Railway Company (BNSF), one of the nation's leading freight rail providers, reported record agricultural volumes for the month of October, including grain harvest, with a 7 percent increase in volume and velocity from 2023.

"We at BNSF are proud to support the American farmer and our country's supply chain during peak harvest, said Group Vice President of Agricultural and Energy Products Angela Caddell.
