Just a passing mention of Great Northern and Northern Pacific does them a great injustice. CB&Q was jointly owned by GN and NP by 1900.

I like trains. I like ASMR. You have done an amazing job joining 2 worlds that really don't go too well together. Keep It up!

How many of you here would have preferred that the BNSF either kept the BN Cascade Green paintscheme or for them to go back to that paintscheme instead of their busy "Cheese, Olives & Tin Foil" identity.

It would be worth mentioning James J. Hill and how the BN merger fulfilled his dream from 1901.

Burlington Northern-Santa Fe changed its name to BNSF in 2005. It is no longer called the former.

Burlington Northern Inc. acquired ATSF, not a merger. BNSF traded on NYSE under BNI, the Burlington Northern stock symbol until all BNI shares were acquired by Berkshire Hathaway. Creation of BNSF in 1996 was defensive move following UP purchase of SP/DRGW/CNW in 1995. ATSF and BN were each others largest interchange partners and there were few "two to one" points (a two railroad location becoming a one railroad location following consolidation) in combining the networks that would require regulatory intervention. Commodity mix of BNSF strengthened weaknesses of BN and ATSF commodity mix and gave BN a Mexican border crossing which it attempted to create with a barge operation from Mobile AL to Coatzacoalcos Mexico in the early 1980's.

Didn’t know the BNSF RailROAD ever existed, the RailWAY does.
