Actually they have more than two.
Fairburn is for the southeast and North Baltimore would be for the Northeast.

Why would BNSF just stop that traffic?  Fairburn is an official BNSF terminal, jointly operated with CSX.

Correct.  There is no "interchange" with CSX involved with these locations.  Customers bring containers directly to or from BNSF at these terminals.  BNSF contracts with CSX to haul its trains to Birmingham (Fairburn) or Chicago (North Baltimore).  And as noted, they serve completely different markets (northeast and southeast) so its not like one replaces the other.
