BNSF supports first responders by repurposing equipment for training opportunities. In partnership with SteeleETC, a local Great Falls company that generously donated time and equipment, we recently delivered a Montana Rail Link (MRL) tank car to Great Falls Fire Rescue to enhance their emergency response capabilities.
“Acquiring this railcar will assist with getting ‘real world’ training on scenarios that central Montana faces every day with the refinery and rail traffic that crosses our response areas,” Fire Chief Jeremy Jones said. “It is these types of public/private collaborations that make for a strong emergency response system.”
