Valuing Veterans
BNSF honors the commitment of the men and women of our armed forces, and we prioritize the hiring of military veterans. Military personnel share many characteristics that transfer well to the world of railroading, including leadership, teamwork, strong safety focus and the ability to perform successfully in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
