Berkshire Hathaway's BNSF Railway said it will invest $3.6 billion this year to improve efficiencies, add capacity and maintain its railroad.

About 75% of the company's capital investments in 2026 will go toward maintenance, resulting in fewer unscheduled service outages that slow down the network and reduce capacity, BNSF said Monday.

BNSF additionally said $358 million of the capital plan is designated for expansion and efficiency, such as facility and line projects. Facility projects include completing property acquisitions, while line-expansion projects include track expansions at yards in Galesburg, Ill., and Winslow, Ariz.

"Our 2026 capital plan focuses on strengthening and modernizing our network so we can continue to meet our customers' evolving needs," Chief Executive Katie Farmer said.
