About this app

RailPASS is a BNSF Railway mobile application designed to create an efficient and expedited gate experience for truck drivers who need to drop off, pick up or locate a shipment at a BNSF Intermodal Facility.

From RailPASS, you can:
• Input shipment details directly through the RailPASS app to avoid having to manually enter information at the intermodal facility kiosk. This feature will reduce time spent at the kiosk by eliminating screen requests and touches – cutting current entrance gate times by more than half.
• Have up-to-date status information on shipments assigned to you once it is in your personalized My Units screen.
• Update Parking: You will have the ability to update your assigned parking location directly through the RailPASS app eliminating the need to call your dispatcher or flag down a yard checker when there is an existing shipment in a designated spot.

Ratings and reviews

The app has potential, but when you are using 15-20 year old computer systems at the gates, incompatibility issues cause major delays, malfunctions, and complete system crashes. Whoever at BNSF thought it would be a great idea to build an app that is almost mandatory for every aspect of our vists, while still using technology from 2008 to pair it with, needs to be fired!

Works alright most of the time but it no longer changes the information when I report where I park my container.

Only problem i see with it is when u try to request a lift on in lot s it sometimes cannot find gps location. When your all set up with chassi and headed towards lot s and you realize that you cannot get a location on your container it affects our time here at Lpc. We have to go all the way back to drivers assistance office to get a location and hope on way to lot s we dont get blocked by a train.
