This page was last updated on 11/10/06

The SN's, GO's and DIV TT's are as accurate as I can get them. Inaccurate files will not knowingly be posted. PLEASE carefully read the files and examine for accuracy. Do not allow yourself to be out of date or out of compliance. These files are being made available to our users as a courtesy. These are dated through the "link" and will be as newly updated as possible. Please check your files!! If you need a file that does not appear here or there is a problem with the files here, E-MAIL me (remove the nospam) and I will try to get it uploaded or fixed. ENJOY! I add files all the time so check the page carefully. PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENTS AND BE FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF YOUR PALM DEVICE!!

OSHA WARNING

     When downloading these files - PLEASE READ & CHECK THEM FOR ACCURACY!! as I can make mistakes! If an error is found - please notify me immediately and if it is my error - I will correct it!

 LEARN TO USE YOUR PALM !! If you are not proficient in the use of your PALM and you would like a little help - just ask me - I will be happy to help you - then you may be able to pass the OPs' testing easily. Believe me when I say that the interest is in MAKING CERTAIN ALL EMPLOYEES - (YOU!) - CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE RULES AND BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THEM!!

AportisDoc files!

Having problems with your files?  The files which cause the "Fatal Error" are files being produced with too many bookmarks and the file causes a memory failure in AportisDoc. The files will need to be modified solely in the area of the BOOKMARKS ONLY. They do work in Richreader, iSilio, Tealdoc, and other doc readers(occasional failures also occur in SmartDoc).

Since it is hardly possible using available softwares to produce a true PALM compatible timetable with GRAPHICS- the problem is one of properly displaying a stations page, chart and any table represented in the printed versions - except in wide screen mode in AportisDoc.

THAT is why I choose to keep supporting this reader - WIDE SCREEN MODE for the TIMETABLES.

If you do NOT use AportisDoc - then you will NOT have the ability to display the timetable and other files properly. Carriers versions of SSI, GCOR, ABTH, TEYSAFE files actually work in AportisDoc - they are NOT available on this site. 

*** SECURITY ALERT ***

Due to concern for the safety of my working Brothers and Sisters I have removed certain files from this site. They will NOT be reposted! Get them from another EMPLOYEE. Further steps MAY be taken if the need arises. The files currently available here cover only readily available information and do not pose any security threat that I can discern. Therefore I WILL continue to keep them up to date.

Again I strongly urge you to USE - READ - UNDERSTAND and ENJOY these files.

These files are FOR US - THE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN. Fifteen pounds of paper ain't much weight - in a DESK DRAWER - if officials had to carry them at all times like we do - there would be some SERIOUS CHANGES made to them. We need files we can USE - READ and most importantly UNDERSTAND! But DO NOT TAKE PALM FILES for granted! Learn to use them.

To Access the BNSF website and update yourself you will need to read the latest GN on accessing the BNSF PORTAL and follow those instructions. The BNSF website IS up and if you are an EMPLOYEE - YOU HAVE the ability to access it.
