Wondering what BNSF Railway has to offer you? Here are some of their great benefits!
Beyond the basics
Our benefits go beyond the basics of medical, dental, vision and 401(k). We complement these with health, retirement and wellness programs. These benefits allow you to protect and improve health, financial well-being and quality of life for you and your family.
While benefits are different for hourly and salaried employees, all our team members are afforded access to quality medical and retirement benefits.
Retirement
Railroad employees participate in the Railroad Retirement system instead of Social Security. A railroad employee becomes vested in their Railroad Retirement benefit after 60 months of service. For vested employees, all prior Social Security benefits and Railroad Retirement benefits will be combined, coordinated and paid by the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board (RRB). Both the railroad employee and the company pay higher taxes than those paid to Social Security, and the retiree receives a larger benefit than they would under Social Security.
Personal development
We offer learning and development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement for job-related degree programs. Hourly employees may be eligible for up to $5,250 per year to pursue an Associates or Bachelor’s degree. Salaried employees may be eligible for up to $800 per credit hour for undergraduate degrees and up to $1,300 per credit hour for graduate degrees.
As a member of the Berkshire Hathaway family, BNSF employees have access to a variety of services and discounts.

Would you please send me a link to fill out an application? Do they hire ex convicted felons? ( convicted in 2006, no charges pending. I have time served and I have completed all state and government requirements to become a responsible citizen.
That’s me on a train!! Almost pursued a railroad career but let some silly female sway me differently. Of course, she’s gone, and so was the opportunity. Is there more information available?
