BNSF, Amtrak and the States
California3rd main line between Fullerton and Los AngelesContinued growth between San Diego and Los Angeles, Amtrak’s second busiest corridor in the United StatesCapacity improvements on San Joaquin Valley corridor to enhance Amtrak reliability
Pacific Northwest (OR/WA) Increasing capacity and separating passenger and freight operations at critical chokepoints to improve reliability and accommodate future passenger growth
Illinois Third main rail line in Galesburg to accommodate expanded Amtrak service

BNSF-Commuter Partnership
Sound Transit Removes the equivalent of one lane of highway traffic off of theI-5 between Seattle and Tacoma
Chicago MetraMoves the equivalent of four lanes of in-bound or out-bound rush-hour traffic during rush hour (50,000 passengers)
Los Angeles MetrolinkSignificantly improved on-time performance and grown from 6 to 44 trains a day, adding more than 20,000 daily seats to accommodate ridership growth
Minneapolis NorthstarWill add daily rush hour service and reduce congestion on State Route 10 when service starts Nov. 16, 2009

BNSF Passenger Rail Principles
Ensure that current and future passenger use of freight capacity is replaced and fully paid for.Ensure that all passenger rail access to freight rail assets is achieved through an arm’s length, bilateral negotiation between the public entity seeking to provide service and the private freight rail carrier. Ensure that passenger rail use contribute fully allocated costs for use of freight lines. Ensure adequate commuter rail/ICPR capital and operating fundingis available to provide envisioned service. Provide separate right of way for high speed passenger rail in corridors which meet volume/frequency/speed targets.

Rail’s Environmental Value
One BNSF intermodal train removes more than 280 long-haul trucks from our nation’s highways
Intercity passenger trains produce 60% less C02 emissions per passenger mile than autos and 50% less than airlines

Fuel Efficiency vs. Truck*
Reduced Congestion Fuel Efficiency Fewer Emissions
11.5 million containers and trailers moved by rail reduces GHG emissions by 17.2 million metric tons vs. highway
One bi-level commuter railcar can take as many as 120 cars off the road
Passenger rail uses 21% less energy per passenger mile than autos and 17% less than airlinesPassenger rail uses 17% less energy per passenger mile than airlines

Commission findings on passenger rail
Federal passenger rail funding
Future is in shorter haul corridors
Expanding passenger rail cannot be achieved at the expense of freight rail operations
Separation of freight and passenger rights of way in dense corridors
Access by passenger providers to freight rail networks must be negotiated at an arm’s length
Fair assignment of cost based on passenger services
Host railroads must be adequately protected through indemnification and insurance for all risk
