BNSF Railway

The BNSF Railway (reporting mark BNSF) is one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America, second to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) (its primary competitor for Western U.S. freight), and is one of seven North American Class I railroads. It has 48,000 employees, 32,500 miles (52,300 km) of track in 28 states, and over 8,000 locomotives. It has three transcontinental routes that provide high-speed links between the western and eastern United States. BNSF trains traveled over 169 million miles in 2010, more than any other North American railroad. The BNSF and UP have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the Western U.S. and shares trackage rights over thousands of miles of track.

According to corporate press releases, the BNSF Railway is among the top transporters of intermodal freight in North America. It also hauls bulk cargo. For instance, the railroad hauls enough coal to generate roughly ten percent of the electricity produced in the United States.

BNSF Railway (Metra)

The BNSF Railway Line is a Metra commuter rail line operated by the BNSF Railway in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. In 2010, the BNSF Railway Line continued to have the highest weekday ridership (average 64,600) of the 11 Metra lines. (Metra does not refer to its lines by particular colors, but the timetable accents for the BNSF line are "Cascade Green," like the paint of the Burlington Northern Railroad.) In April 2014, the public timetable (published March 11, 2012) showed 47 trains leaving Chicago each weekday, of which 31 run to Aurora. Of the 16 trains that do not reach Aurora, 3 terminate at Westmont, 5 at Route 59, 6 at Fairview Avenue, 1 at Brookfield, and 1 at Downers Grove-Main St.

The east end is Union Station in downtown Chicago. The line traverses Chicago and its western and far western suburbs to Aurora. BNSF Railway operates it under a "purchase of service agreement" with Metra; management and crews are BNSF employees and Metra owns the equipment. The June 2007 timetable shows a 70 mph maximum allowed speed for passenger trains.

Soledad

by: Pensive

Cuando menciono tu nombre
Tu bello rostro me observa
Lloro por tu perdón y es que
Imagino que me extrañas.
Y cada noche al dormir
Perfecta en mi mente es
Y todo lo que te diré
Explica porque me siento así.
Count the stars, steal the moon
I'd do this all just for you
Nothing's good enough.
I'm trying to love you
Just tell me what should I do
Nothing's good enough.
Caught in this soledad.
Si supieras cuanto me importas
Sentirte así, tocar tu piel
Pero no sabes la verdad
Te ciegas al amor real.
Qué mas te puedo dar no sé
Intento una y otra vez
Nunca dirás que me amas
El primer beso no olvidaré.
Count the stars, steal the moon
I'd do this all just for you
Nothing's good enough.
I'm trying to love you
Just tell me what should I do
Nothing's good enough.
From here 'til eternity I'm lost without your love
Watch the waves come rolling in and pray they bring you back
again.
Y déjame creer
Que tu me amas también
Y déjame soñar
Contigo hasta el final.
