BNSF                                  

       The BNSF was the result of the merger of Burlington Northern into the AT&SF railroad in the mid-1990's. They have grown into one of the biggest railroads in the world.  They own over 30,000 miles of trackage in the US. If you have any info about BNSF email me.
