BN&SF Employee Information Page

Visitors to this page:

This page still under construction. Hopefully, when I finish, this page will be a place where you can download and or print out useful information, such as my popular Distance Between Road Crossing Charts, and my not so popular Superintendent Notices and General Order Indexes. NOW you can even download Emory's great Palm Pilot files, etc., albeit in .ZIP file format at the present due to my servers limitations on file uploads.

Palm Pilot File Headquarters

Since this is one of the more popular areas of the site, I am in the process of moving all Palm File type links to this area for convenience. This make take a while to get everything moved and perfected.
Distance Between Road Crossing Charts for the Palm Pilot (08-14-01)
BLE Condensed Payrate Sheet Palm File (Obsolete)
Palm Pilot -- Aportis Technologies Palm Pilot Software
Palm Pilot -- Rulebooks, BNSF
Palm Pilot -- General Orders, General Notices, Timetables, etc. -- Emory's Palm Pilot Files and more (My Palm quit, I no longer update these.)
Palm Pilot -- Railroad Phone Numbers (08-14-01)
Tonnage Maximum Drawbar Ratings for Subdivisions (04-18-02)

The following file is something that I worked on due to a request -- it may not have been a serious request, but he asked, "So when are you going to put the TEAM Manuals in the Palm?" Well, I worked on it a bit -- actually quite a few hours at the Away-From-Home-Terminal, and have come up with this file for an initial "test". Obviously, it would have been too bilky and too time consuming to actually include complete diagrams, so primarily this is just a "reminder" of the track numbers at the stations and the lengths, etc. It is assumed that the user will already be relatively familiar with the territory. There ARE a couple of diagrams to illustrate distances when road crossings are involved. The information is incomplete -- like Texas City needs to be done yet. More diagrams may be included in the future. Anyway, I would appreciate any feedback. I am just now using this myself in the field to get a feel for its usefulness, etc.
