FORT WORTH, Texas — BNSF Railway has launched an interactive map that showcases various events and activities along its transcontinental rail system. The map uses various markers to highlight events such as community projects, news updates, photos, and videos along with historical information. Users have the ability to filter the data and zoom into a bird’s-eye view of the railroad. The base map uses the popular Google Maps engine, making it easy for users to navigate.
The railroad has also included two “train’s eye” videos that were captured from high definition cameras mounted on the front of trains as they traversed two scenic portions of BNSF’s network. The first video is from western Washington, on the west side of Stevens Pass between Everett and Baring, while the other clip features eastern Wyoming’s Wendover Canyon, between Cassa and Elkhorn.
