BNSF Railway crews worked over the weekend to repair flood-damaged sections of the railroad in Washington state, which was hit by record rainfall last week. Some areas of western Washington and Oregon received 10 to 17 inches of rain, which is more than some locations receive in a month, BNSF said in a customer advisory last week. The flooding also disrupted Amtrak operations in the area [see “Washington flooding spurs …,” Trains.com, Dec. 11, 2025], but those services have resumed.
