Warren Buffett's garbage railroad accounts for 1/3 of all rail NOx emissions while pretending to environment credentials.
And not mentioned in the article, BNSF is notoriously hostile to any passenger traffic on their line. BNSF was held criminally culpable for the deaths of Amtrak passengers that died when an Empire Builder derailed due to poor track maintenance.
And the deep irony is that the Great Northern mainline that BNSF uses for much of their transcontinental traffic not only is capable of being electrified, it *was* electrified until the 1950s.

Hey all ππΌ π€ I've been absolutely swamped at work (an entire month on site, everyday!) but wanted to mention real quick that the #Chicago transit π π system is facing a massive budget shortfall for 2026!
There is currently NO funding set aside in the '26 #illinois budget to address the crisis facing #Chicgoans who rely on #CTA #metra and #BNSF for work or ridership or both.
If you rely on these services or just like #walkablecities, #DSA #CDSA has prepared a short letter that you can submit to Gov. #pritzker in just a few clicks ! π±οΈ
