The Argentine Yard is a classification yard of the BNSF Railway in Kansas City, Kansas. With 60 directional tracks and an area of over 3 km2, it is the largest classification yard in the BNSF network. It is located between the Kansas River to the north and the Argentine district of Kansas City (Kansas) to the south, about ten kilometers west of downtown Kansas City, Missouri.[1]

The Argentine Yard is one of several large rail yards in the Kansas City metropolitan area operated by BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern and Kansas City Southern. For several decades, the Kansas City metropolitan area was considered the largest railroad hub in the U.S. in terms of freight volume, with over 300 freight trains entering or leaving the metropolitan region daily.[2] However, as of 2021, declines in network coal shipments have dropped Kansas City to second busiest and second by annual tonnage behind Chicago.[3]
