If you were looking at which railroad was more efficient, ATSF was. Some of that is due to the commodities carried, some was the people and some was the geography. The heritage scheme hardly or fairly depicts the combined railroad.

Thanks for the answers. I thought ATSF bought BN because on the BNSF engines, the ATSF loco (circle with a plus sign) is on the engine, and no marks of the BN.

BN bought ATSF for a pretty price, then folded BN into BNSF.....then got rid of Krebs & Co. just like they got rid of the Frisco bunch. (Organisation heavilly resistant to change - Krebs was more impressed with ATSF than SP or BN)....most of the ATSF managers are now elsewhere.)

I think BN bought ATSF...in order to get Rob Krebs and his management crew among other things.

Did the Burlington Northern buy the Santa-fe, or did the Santa-fe buy the Burlington Northern, or did they just put both of their stocks together and form the BNSF?
