I might be wrong, but I believe Mr. Hunt is one of the significant reasons that the current BNSF exists today. He purchased lots of stock and in return ships many of his trailers by rail instead of driving the trailers across the country. On one hand, it made it cheaper and easier for him to move trailers, and on the other he helped to preserve two very important pieces of railroad history, thereby preventing another PRR/NYC aka Penn Central, aka Conrail, now CSX/NS and another two flags to log in the "fallen flag" roster
