A pair of Executive paint SD70MAC's (BNSF 9741 & 9434) are sandwiched between an ES44AC (BNSF 6212) and a SD70ACe (BNSF 8549) as the DPU's on an empty Miller coal (JHMX) passing through BNSF Tennessee Yard in Memphis. 3/22/19 Click the pic for a better view.

This was formally a Frisco Yard. Note that it has a fairly direct route to the Frisco Bridge. BNSF/Frisco continues southeast to Birmingham, AL.
To put the size of this yard in perspective, below are some yard images using the same scale 2000ft = 5/8 inch on my 1920x1080 monitor.

Memphis

Galesburg, IL

Cicero

Corwith

Eola, it is being expanded to add tracks that will go all the way to Farnsworth Avenue

These scale images show why BNSF converted the former-CB&Q yard (Cicero or Clyde) and the former-Santa Fe yard (Corwith) to intermodal service and classifies freight cars in Galesburg for run throughs in Chicago or delivery to the two major carload freight classifications yards: BRC's Clearing Yard (dual hump) and IHB's. Blue Island Yard.

["Transloading from a ship to a domestic intermodal train occurs when shippers try to stuff three or more TEU container loads into one high-cube domestic 53-foot box....Back in 2008, transloading might have occurred about 15% of the time. In 2020, on some routes it can be 45% or more of the units handled. This is important because some rail yards were laid out to expedite TEU and FEU box and train loading spacing. Transloading can sometimes be disruptive at the terminal—not always, but enough to matter."]
