Track Rights on a shortline?

[Justinmiller171]

It might be owned jointly by the BNSF & the UP, but that would be like a minor league baseball team being owned jointly by the Yankees and the Red Sox. I don't think there are two railroads in the country that dislike each other more than the U.P. and the Santa Fe in the old days, and I think that dislike extended to the BNSF when they merged.

I know of a few railroads such as the Portland Terminal Railroad are owned by both UP and BNSF, They also seem to share alot of track rights, They have also been building some joint lines together:http://www.bnsf.com/media/news-releases/...5-08a.html
