RIVERSIDE, Calif. — BNSF Railway and multimodal transportation company J.B. Hunt are transporting more than 6,400 wreaths to Riverside National Cemetery as part of their annual participation in the Wreaths Across America program.

Today (Friday, Dec. 16), at 7 a.m. PST, a J.B. Hunt truck accompanied by a Patriot Guard motorcycle escort will move the wreaths from BNSF’s San Bernardino Intermodal Facility to the cemetery at 22496 Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside.

The two companies will move more than 35 container loads of wreaths this year as part of Wreaths Across America’s coordinated wreath-laying at national cemeteries as well as other locations in all 50 states, at sea, and abroad. J.B. Hunt has been involved in the program for nine years; BNSF has participated since 2017.
