    www.bnsf.com on mobile. Click DLL (display lot location) will let you know if your trailer is in and where.

    But NS is rolling out ExpressNS. I just downloaded and registered.

    If, Chicago Folk, have been to Landers on one of their mile long, down the street and around the corner, backup days you will like the news. When enough people have the app and are using it they are going to dedicate express lanes! I imagine all the data you enter at the kiosk you will pre-enter on your phone and (I have not done it yet) probably get a single express number to enter, they find your photos and BOOM you are in.

    Outgate version also.

    Check it out and spread the word so they open up those lanes!

    Of course there will be drivers not registered going in the express lanes. I hope they will get one warning then on second violation be banned for a week with company notified!

    i was playing with it today, it was glitchy or a lot of people on the system, it feel like a much more refined version of the system cxs uses(you have to go to the website and put the long pickup numbers they use), I have a outgate and ingate on different ns terminals tomorrow going to put more use to it.. crossing my fingers it works like its supposed to

    I have to enter more info than at the kiosk, but if it gives me express lanes I will use it much!

    Plus being able to check on trailer status for each yard is nice.

    interesting, wish it was more of an APP than a website, but I'll have to try that

    Ns works for ingate and out gate but I tried it today to outgate an empty and it was only showing 10 when the yard had over 200 empties so I had to do it the old fashioned way.

    it works well for checking trailer status at the yard. Even shows parked row location and billed weight!
