At the risk of offending some BN fans, I think the management of BNSF is going out of their way to try to cut all ties to the Santa Fe. If I had been running that merger I would have done like the DRGW did when they bought S.P. before the U.P. buyout. DRGW bought the S.P., but the new merged railroad was called the S.P. When BN merged with the Santa Fe, they should have dropped the BN!
