A family tradition: BNSF family has 223 years of service
Tradition is a hallmark of the railroad industry and for railroaders alike. Stanley “Shane” Mudge, assistant director, Network Control Systems (NCS), is a fourth-generation railroader at BNSF. From growing up in a foreman’s boxcar to starting his career with BNSF predecessor Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (ATSF or Santa Fe), Mudge has continued his family’s legacy alongside his brother, Jay, and nephew, Shawn, marking 223 years of collective service – and still counting!
This is who we are.
