From the TRAINS newswire 04/07/06 BNSF to set up offices in China FORT WORTH, Texas - BNSF plans to become the first U.S. railroad to open an office in mainland China, says a story in The Dallas Morning News. The Shanghai office, opening this month, symbolizes the growing importance of Chinese exports to freight railroads such as BNSF, which is experiencing unprecedented demand thanks to the surge in trade, the newspaper said. "We think 60 to 70 percent of goods coming in from Asia is coming from China," said Stephen Branscum, group vice president of consumer products for the Fort Worth-based railway. The Shanghai office is expected to help the company stay in closer contact with its customers. The railroad currently operates only one office in the region – in Tokyo. While BNSF will be the first U.S. railroad with offices in China, it will not be the first foreign railroad as both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railway already have a presence there, the CN in 2004, the CPR in 1997.
