CONNECTING THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY

BNSF Railway’s operations in California are vital to the U.S. supply chain and critical to supporting strong regional economies.

As a major freight rail transporter in the state since 1883, BNSF has strong ties to the area. We’ve committed hundreds of millions towards state network capital expansion, and our rail yards and intermodal facilities employ thousands of Californians.
