BNSF Railway Company
Weekly Performance Report

One railroad's performance metrics cannot meaningfully be compared to another railroad's,
due to differences in the carriers' calculation methodologies, operational strategies, network
characteristics, terrain, traffic mix and volume, length of haul, extent of passenger operations,
and other factors such as weather.
