Data played a part in Farmer ’s look ahead to Barstow International Gateway intermodal and logistics project.

Farmer: "What we're talking about is not only capacity, but how we're going to be interchanging data with each other".

A pilot program with a few carload and grain shippers, she said, had shown the railroad could, with 85% to 90% accuracy, provide an ETA within a window of plus or minus four hours . “I’m incredibly encouraged with the progress we’re making on this,” she said. “We’re not there yet, but we’re going to broaden the pilot out.” The post BNSF CEO’s talk illustrates value of data in improving service appeared first on FreightWaves ..
