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.
