Don't let the facts get in the way of your rant.

Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company has provided rail-operating services to customers of the Kingman Airport & Industrial Park for more than 30 years.
....
Over the 30 years with BNSF, the Airport Authority inherited maintenance costs associated with the rail, which allows cargo to be transported from BNSF's mainline - via 5-miles worth of Airport Authority-owned railroad - to about 20 percent of the park's customers. The Airport Authority budgets for those inherited maintenance costs to the tune of $50,000 a year, said Airport Authority Director of Economic Development Bob Riley.

The Kingman Industrial Park is a former military base.

After the base was decommisioned, it was turned over to Mohave County, and eventually the Airport Authority. BNSF never owned it.
