Its major share of revenue comes from the consumer products sector such as automotive; every 11 seconds a new car is loaded onto a BNSF train. In 2018, the railroad hauled almost two million carloads of industrial products and just over 1.9 million carloads of coal products.
BNSF Railway is often ranked among the best Class I freight rail companies; in 2017, it was the second most punctual railroad after Canadian Pacific Railway. Its key competitor, Union Pacific, reports annually freight revenue to the value of more than 21.3 billion U.S. dollars from loading commodities like coal, chemicals or agricultural products.
