Cars are lined up on a dealer's lot, gleaming under the warm glow of nearby street lights. The latest clothing choices hang on a rack in a store. A boy and girl challenge each other's scores on a hand-held video game.
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. On Feb. 12, 2010, BNSF became a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. 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.
All this is accomplished by a BNSF Railway team that is progressive, vital, resourceful, and approachable. Through contemporary, world-class people, processes, and technology, BNSF Railway provides an easy, relevant choice for all types of shippers in a wide variety of locations.

The people who work at BNSF are the ones who drive the railroad to success. BNSF people are from all areas of the country and have a variety of skills. BNSF is focused on keeping the railroad moving forward, meeting customers' needs and serving the communities where our employees live and work.
Today's BNSF Railway is the product of nearly 400 different railroad lines that merged or were acquired over the course of 160 years.
While many different railroads combined to form BNSF, the people who worked at those railroads shared many traits. The people who built BNSF were – and continue to be -- a unique breed, blending the forward-thinking of dreamers with the pragmatism of results-oriented business leaders. This heritage played a central role in settling and growing the American West, and today, BNSF continues to have a significant impact in meeting the needs of shippers and serving the economy.
