BNSF Railway is one of North America’s leading freight transportation companies, with a rail network of 32,500 route miles in 28 states and three Canadian provinces. BNSF is one of the top transporters of the products and materials that help feed, clothe, supply and power communities throughout America and the world.

The Summer Internship Program provides you an opportunity to learn more about how our efficient, safe and “green” rail network supports the global supply chain. You’ll participate in group events and projects, experiencing first-hand what it is like to be a full-time BNSF employee. Operating one of the largest railroads in North America, we have countless opportunities for you to develop your skills, create new ideas and even travel! The program begins with an extensive 2-day corporate orientation in Fort Worth, Texas. During the training period, the interns receive in-depth company overview and interact with company leaders. Following orientation, interns receive on-the-job training according to their assigned group. The summer will be spent in Fort Worth or in a field location that can be anywhere on BNSF's system. The objective of our Summer Internship Program is to find students that will join us after graduation as part of our Management Trainee Program.
