The Brainerd Subdivision is a rail line owned and operated by BNSF Railway.
The line was initially built by Northern Pacific Railway with service commencing in about 1911.
The company then merged with Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) in 1996 to form BNSF.

It also has a spur line that leads to Brainerd Industrial Center via a street running segment.
