Andy Williams, Regional Public Affairs Director at BNSF said, “BNSF has deep roots in Alliance, NE and we are very proud to be a part of the community’s rich history. Reaching Alliance 125 years ago was an important milestone for the railroad. We are very pleased to support the celebration and we look forward to participating in events throughout the year.” Williams said that in addition to the financial support, the railroad hopes to host an open house at the mechanical shops during Heritage Days.
