If Train A is traveling eastbound at 40 miles per hour, and Train B is traveling westbound on the same track at 55 miles per hour, how will they get past each other? Answer: A rail siding.
Sidings are a crucial piece of BNSF's rail network. The more sidings, and the closer and longer they are, the less time it takes for multiple trains to move through an area. That's why projects to lengthen sidings and add new sidings to the network are so important.
