Fort Worth-based BNSF Railway is expanding its work with cargo-security company Overhaul, the railroad said in an announcement posted Oct. 13.

The companies describe BNSF as Overhaul’s exclusive railroad partner and say the arrangement builds on nearly a decade of collaboration. It connects Overhaul’s shipment-risk intelligence with BNSF’s security systems and railroad police to help spot suspicious activity earlier across the railway’s 32,500-mile network.

The companies say shared alerts will flag possible tampering, fraud and organized cargo theft. BNSF says its special agents will coordinate responses with Overhaul’s security teams and public law-enforcement agencies.
