BNSF Railway

At BNSF, we salute your service, value your skills and welcome your unique experience and talents. Since 2005, BNSF has hired more than 9,000 U.S. military veterans.

BNSF actively seeks candidates with military experience and offers rewarding career opportunities, competitive pay, benefits, training, and advancement opportunities to transitioning service members, veterans, and members of National Guard and Reserves. 

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.
