Yes, there are restrictions on shipping perishable goods with BNSF Railway. Perishable goods requiring temperature control must be transported in refrigerated or insulated railcars. BNSF offers a variety of refrigerated equipment options to maintain the necessary temperature and humidity levels during transit. However, there are weight restrictions depending on the railcar type, as well as restrictions on hazardous materials and commodities with specific handling requirements. It is important to coordinate with BNSF's customer support team for specific details and guidelines regarding the transportation of perishable goods. BNSF strives to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of all types of goods, including perishables, while adhering to regulations and best practices.
