History BNSF railroad:
Growth of a Vital American Resource
Today's BNSF Railway is the product of some 390 different railroad lines that merged or were acquired during more than
150 years.
While many different railroads combined to form the modern BNSF Railway, all shared one or more common
features:
- Pioneering Spirit - laying hundreds of miles of track over previously undeveloped land, overcoming great geographic obstacles
and challenges
- Innovative Thinking:
- Equipment - AC traction locomotives, tri-level auto rack cars, land-bridge container trains to link both Asia and Europe
and other rolling stock specifically designed for various products carried on the BNSF Railway
- Supporting technology -the printing telegraph, radio dispatching, centralized traffic control, and, more recently, a football
field-sized, data-driven Network Operations Center
- Services - in-route mail sorting, intermodal services and new business tools for specific markets, such as an industry
leading grain logistics system
- Efficiency - applying the energy efficiency of rail transit to supply shippers with cost savings and speed
The people who built the BNSF Railway are 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 is
helping shippers achieve better business performance in the 21st Century.
