Who?

Dead for Tax Reasons: he's buying up all these companies, pretty soon he gonna have a...um...uh...i can't think of the word

He's gonna be sorry? He's gonna have less risk?

Margaritaville?

Are you people mad? We can't allow Warren Buffett to acquire F40PHs! He'll be unstoppable!

Great headline subby. Very droll.

Cool. I wouldn't be surprised if BNSF starts electrifying soon - Buffett is really big on increasing the value of his investments through capital expenditures.

Hotels on blue?

BNSF only operates the METRA F40PHm for the RTA. I don't think they have any on the roster.

The idea of Warren Buffet with ES44AC and SD70ACe is intriguing.

Aw, criminy.

If he gets Boardwalk, game over.

That hotel's electric company's a dump and your monopoly's pathetic!

They also have a couple of SD60's and a couple GP7 road switchers still floating around as well.

Glad to see there are other railroad nerds on Fark.

I wish Buffet would experiment with passenger service or electrification but I don't really see it anytime soon.

Maybe he'll bring some of its operations back to Burlington, where they belong. Not likely, though, since the city council insists upon continually pissing them off with lawsuits, quiet zones and other nonsense.

Warren Buffet doesn't run the companies he buys. His Berkshire Hathaway holding company owns lots and lots of companies, which he allows other people to run who actually know a lot about the particular industries the company deals with.

He buys good, well run companies, and then makes no changes whatsoever in them.

Mmmm, Buffet...

He's got to be the most appetizing-sounding venture capitalist I know.

I would pay to see Buffet dressed in top hat and spats operating a locomotive...

I came in here just for that. Thank you.

So BNSF & UP will now be Omaha companies? In the sense that Warren is an Omahaian...I'm sure they won't be building an office here anytime soon.
