FROM BLW ... BN Freight Pack!

Burlington Northern Railroad was the product of a March 2, 1970, merger comprising the Great Northern Railway,
the Northern Pacific Railway, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle Railway, and other, small, wholly jointly-owned subsidiaries. Consent for this
merger came only on the fourth attempt dating back to the days of James J. Hill, but for many years
they shared a headquarters building in Saint Paul, Minnesota, until the merger was finally approved.

On November 21, 1980, the former St. Louis - San Francisco Railway was acquired. In 1981,
corporate headquarters of parent Burlington Northern Inc. were moved to Seattle, Washington,
and in 1988, after its non-rail operations were spun off as Burlington Resources, to Houston, Texas.

On December 31, 1996, Burlington Northern merged with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
to form the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, whose name was later shortened to BNSF Railway.
