About BNSF

A Vital Connection between Goods and Customers.

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.
