Company Overview
For more than 150 years, BNSF Railway has been quietly delivering cars, coal, clothing, games, and nearly anything else found in homes and businesses. When the predecessors to BNSF Railway first started operations, we were building a nation by shrinking America's borders. Today, our focus is on using speed, agility, and resourcefulness to help expand the global marketplace for goods and services.
Today, BNSF Railway plays a vital role for people around the world every day of the year—magazines are published on paper delivered by our trains, medicines are carried for distribution to hospitals and pharmacies, produce is shipped from farms to markets... the list is endless.
