I can't imagine the BNSF banning kicking cars on their railroad. It's a heck of a lot faster to switch cars by kicking than it is flat-switching. I work for the NS, which is probably the most rule-laden railroad in this country. You have to watch which way you hold your head when you blow your nose, or you'll be breaking a rule, and there's probably a trainmaster sitting in the bushes waiting to catch you do it. There are certain locations where kicking a car is banned, such as the end of certain yards which is at a higher elevation than the other end, or certain industrial yards where there have been repeated problems due to the type of car being kicked, but overall, kicking cars on the NS is a standard practice. I can't see the BNSF, or the UP or CSX for that matter, banning something that's been done for decades with no major problems. In fact, we are allowed to Kick cars that have "Do Not Hump" stensiled on them. Explain that one.
