BNSF Railway is one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America, operating over 32,000 route miles across 28 states. A wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, BNSF moves roughly 40 percent of all intercity freight in the U.S. by rail and is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, a city with deep railroad heritage dating back to the 1800s.
The Fort Worth headquarters campus is the command center for network operations, dispatching, engineering, and intermodal logistics. DFW's position as a major intermodal hub makes the campus strategically vital. Teams here cover transportation planning, data analytics, mechanical engineering, IT systems, and safety operations, with ongoing investment in precision-scheduled railroading technology.
For relocators, BNSF offers the stability of Berkshire Hathaway ownership, strong pension and retirement benefits, and a Fort Worth campus surrounded by the growing Alliance corridor with affordable housing and excellent Keller ISD schools nearby.
