BNSF Railway Co. plans to invest $3.3 billion in capital expenditures in 2018, including $2.4 billion in maintenance projects, according to a budget outline that roughly matches the same spending as 2017.
The Class 1 railroad, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Co., will replace and upgrade more than 500 miles of rail, 3 million rail ties and ballasts while maintaining its rolling stock of locomotives. There also will be about 13,000 miles of track surfacing and undercutting work.
