The ATSF and BN merger was actually a purchase, with BN being the buyer. But, the result was actually the opposite. In buying the Santa Fe, BN was actually targeting acquisition of Santa Fe's management (Rob Krebs) as well as the physical plant. Santa Fe had proven itself to be one of the best in finding ways to run efficiently, especially in the intermodal arena. The combined company saw the mass pulling of golden rip-cords by former BN top officials, and the subsequent filling of many of the vacated positions by Santa Fe people.
