BNSF Railway said its safety results for 2025 marked the best year ever in the company’s 177-year history.
BNSF, comprised of approximately 35,000 employees, operated its 32,500-mile network with its lowest-ever employee injury frequency rate, 10 percent below its previous record year in 2023.
The company also saw a 13% decrease in rail equipment incidents, surpassing the Class I railroad’s 2025 target and continuing to lead the industry, as it has over the past decade.
“This year marks an important milestone in our safety performance,” BNSF Vice President of Safety Chad Sundem said in a release. “It was earned through steadfast commitment, competence, and courage of our teammates throughout BNSF. I believe our results are a direct reflection of strong collaboration between labor and management, and a shared belief that safety is a value and guides every decision we make. I am proud of our teammates and grateful for the trust, discipline, and teamwork that made this historic year possible.”
