BNSF Railway Company and the 2014 FEC cycle

1,277 itemized gifts totaling $302,055 sit at the meeting of BNSF Railway Company and the 2014 cycle. 64 unique donors produced the cell. FEC.gov is the source. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $6,933,919, so this window is about 4.4% — railroad employer text including RAILWAY COMPANY in a two-year tag, not a BNSF PAC, BNSF without Railway Company as a sibling, or USAspending rail awards.

Key figures

  • $302,055 is the BNSF Railway Company × 2014 overlap.
  • 64 unique donors; 1,277 itemized contributions; mean gift about $237.
  • Lifetime grouping $6,933,919; 2014 share about 4.4%.
  • The page is railroad employer text including RAILWAY COMPANY, not a BNSF PAC.
  • Unitemized gifts, PACs, and federal awards sit outside this cell.

Two keys: BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY and 2014

The packet’s keys are literal: industry string BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY, cycle 2014. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $302,055, from 1,277 contributions and 64 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as railroad employer text including RAILWAY COMPANY. Self-reported employer and occupation fields are free text. 1,277 itemized lines from 64 donors is a high repeat-gift ratio. Repeat payroll-style itemizations raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. This file still does not name those 64 identities. Neighboring stored labels include BNSF, BNSF RAILWAY, BURLINGTON NORTHERN, and BURLINGTON NORTHERN SANTA FE. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $302,055. This page does not merge those buckets.

$302,055 is smaller than $6,933,919 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2014 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.

Where $6,631,864 still sits

After this 2014 cell of $302,055, $6,631,864 of the BNSF Railway Company grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 95.6% of $6,933,919. The 2014 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2014 total is supplied, so no share of the election claim is possible. 4.4% is BNSF Railway Company-internal. Because 2014 is about 4.4% of $6,933,919, most stored BNSF Railway Company money sits outside this window ($6,631,864). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2014 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

How 64 donors produced 1,277 gifts

64 donors and 1,277 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 20.0 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$4,720 per donor and $237 per line are derived from $302,055. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Volume math uses only three facts: $302,055, 1,277 contributions, 64 donors. Derived means are $237 per gift and $4,720 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving and not a party split.

2014 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $302,055. The FEC cycle 2014 is a two-year bucket. 2014 is a midterm even-year window on FEC.gov; that fact is a calendar tag, not a causal claim. Dates belong on the overlay, not in invented subtotals.

The cycle hub and this tie differ by one filter. The hub is all strings in 2014. The tie is BNSF Railway Company in 2014. Only the tie is $302,055. Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2014 is two years. Both years can feed $302,055. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals in this prose.

Limits of the BNSF Railway Company string

The string BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY is not NAICS, not a firm ID, and not a donor page. It is railroad employer text including RAILWAY COMPANY. Related names remain other keys. $302,055 does not absorb them.

Motive, party, and recipient strategy are not in the facts. This file does not speculate. 64 donors and 1,277 contributions are counts, not a narrative about why people gave. The Commission does not verify that BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY is a legal entity, a license, or a current job. BNSF Railway Company is railroad employer text including RAILWAY COMPANY. $302,055 is a text-match aggregate for 2014 itemized individual receipts.

Keeping BNSF Railway Company 2014 distinct from the hubs

BNSF Railway Company without 2014 is $6,933,919. 2014 without BNSF Railway Company is the year hub. BNSF Railway Company with 2014 is $302,055. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: BNSF Railway Company 2014 (overlay), BNSF Railway Company (grouping), 2014 election cycle (year), All FEC ties (other joins). Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. A durable citation names BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY, 2014, $302,055, 1,277 contributions, 64 donors, and FEC.gov. Add 4.4% of $6,933,919 when lifetime context is required. Do not add USAspending dollars.
