A BNSF Railway program
Put empty import containers back to work across the country
Reload is BNSF’s intermodal program for loading imported containers with domestic freight and moving them cross country by rail before they return overseas. Better equipment balance for ocean and intermodal carriers, and a lower-cost option for shippers.
Reuse import equipment
Empty import containers are matched with domestic freight instead of being repositioned empty.
Cross-country rail moves
Loads move on BNSF intermodal service across the railroad’s network toward West Coast ports.
