Reducing Our Emissions
Over the last decade, BNSF has upgraded
about 40 percent of our locomotive fleet to
more energy-efficient technologies, helping
us make great strides in increasing fuel
efficiency and decreasing CO2 and particulate
emissions. We have also improved fuel
efficiency through changes in operations and
maintenance practices.
