Case Study: Transformer Manufacturer achieves on-time, on-budget transformer delivery with BNSF Logistics

Transformer Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

Transformer Manufacturer needed to move an 850,000-pound transformer measuring 28 feet long by 13 feet wide by 19 feet high. Because the load was too large to transport by rail, the company turned to BNSF Logistics for a cost-effective, on-time alternative that could handle an oversized shipment.

BNSF Logistics designed a multimodal solution that included building a new landing ramp on a local river so the transformer could travel by barge, then using over-the-road equipment, jumper bridges, and a dual land trans system to deliver it to the job site. With traffic control, police, and private escorts supporting the move, BNSF Logistics delivered the transformer safely, on time, and on budget.
