The BNSF railway bought the GRID factory in North Fort Worth and has a hell lot of IT there now. Right across Western Center from the headquarters. If you can get inside it looks like they moved India in there. The cafeteria has an original Zerox word processor from the 1982 time frame on display. They used those in the offices, took eleven minutes to boot. Before that the old Fort Worth and Denver used Wang CPM computers in their Fort Worth headquarters.
