A rail grinder train makes its way through the night near Chicago. Rail grinding is an essential part of track maintenance for safe and efficient operations. It's performed on tracks to restore their profile, keep them in excellent shape and extend their lifespan, and it leads to fuel savings and a smoother ride for the train. A rail grinder train can have more than 100 grinding wheels. BNSF grinds more than 17,000 miles of track every year. #freight #rail #infrastructure | BNSF Railway
