OK, BNSF did not buy tracks into Ohio, but BNSF now has a haulage agreement with CSX to allow BNSF to offer container service from the LA area into North Baltimore Ohio.

BNSF and CSX will launch a container-only direct-rail domestic and international intermodal service between Los Angeles and CSX’s Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal in North Baltimore, Ohio, on Oct. 29, 2018. The new service will run eastbound and westbound with departure offerings five days per week in each direction.
Much like BNSF’s Southern California to Atlanta service, a portion of this new service from the Los Angeles region to North Baltimore will operate under a haulage agreement with CSX. The route will traverse BNSF’s Southern Transcon through and beyond Chicago to the Ohio Valley.

“Customers who take advantage of this new service can reach key markets within the fast-growing Ohio Valley region,” said BNSF Group Vice President Consumer Products Tom Williams. “Our new Ohio intermodal service will create an efficient, direct service from the West Coast. It’s another way BNSF is working to streamline the existing supply chain and makes moving products easier.”

BNSF originally built North Baltimore as a "mixing center" to service other CSX destinations. Then EHH dumped all that - Now North Baltimore rises again with CSX agreeing to construct a "logistics park" there.

Note that BNSF has a similar agreement with CSX to reach into into Fairburn GA (Atlanta area).
