At this year's Midwest Regional and Short Line Railroads annual conference, Minnesota State Senator Jordan Rasmussen and Minnesota Regional Railroad Association Executive Director Amber Backhaus presented on the 2024 Minnesota legislative session, with BNSF's Executive Director of Public Affairs, Lydia Underdahl, serving as moderator. BNSF is a proud member of the Minnesota Regional Railroads association, which represents Minnesota’s four Class I and 14 Regional and Short Line railroads before policymakers. This panel, along with BNSF's partnership with the Association, exemplifies the rail industry's ongoing efforts to educate policymakers and community leaders on the vital role railroads play in powering America's economy.
