An Industry Leader in Rail Safety At BNSF, we believe every accident or injury is preventable. We work each day to make that vision a reality through our extensive safety programs, training and technology. In 2023, we completed a record year for workplace safety, with the lowest injury frequency rate in our company’s 175-year history. We operated our 32,500-mile network without loss of life, and with the fewest number of employee injuries ever. The freight rail industry is safe and getting safer. The last decade has been the safest ever for rail. Data from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) confirms the industry’s approach delivers safety improvements. The train accident rate is down 27% since 2000 and 6% since 2022. The hazardous materials accident rate is at its lowest ever and down 75% since 2000. BNSF is committed to transporting hazardous materials safely – 99.99% of BNSF hazmat shipments reach their destination without a release caused by a train accident. Our rigorous approach to hazmat safety is informed by a framework of measures focused on prevention, mitigation and response. We ensure that we and the communities we serve are prepared to respond in the rare instance of an incident. BNSF has over 120 trained hazmat responders at more than 50 locations across our network with prepositioned response equipment which is supported by a network of contract emergency and environmental responders. We also provide free hazmat response training to local first responders across our network, training more than 144,000 responders since 1996. www.bnsf.com BNSF Facts Length of network: 32,500 States in network: 28 Canadian provinces: 3 Employees: ~36,500 Headquarters: Fort Worth, TX Ports served: 40+ Intermodal facilities: 27 Average trains per day: 1,300 Locomotives: ~6,800 Capital investment (2024): $3.7 billion Bridges: 13,000+ Tunnels: 99 Grade crossings: 29,000+ Packages shipped during holiday season: 76 million Carloads shipped in 2024: 9.6 million Distance BNSF hauls 1 ton of freight on 1 gallon of diesel fuel: ~500 miles BNSF Railway is one of North America’s leading freight transportation companies, operating a rail network of 32,500 route miles in 28 states and three Canadian provinces.
