Auszug: Die Wabash Railroad (vormals auch Wabash Railway und Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway) war eine Class-I-Bahngesellschaft in den Vereinigten Staaten, mit Sitz in St. Louis. Ihr Netz erstreckte sich in seiner größten Ausdehnung von Buffalo über Detroit, Chicago und St. Louis bis nach Council Bluffs und Kansas City. 1929 hatte das Netz eine Streckenlänge von 4062 Kilometern. Die Wabash war immer ein Bindeglied zwischen den Bahngesellschaften des Ostens und des Westens, da sie zu den wenigen gehörte, die auf beiden Seiten des Mississippi wichtige Strecken besaßen. Die Gesellschaft entstand 1879 durch Fusion zweier Vorgängergesellschaften und bestand rechtlich mit einer Unterbrechung in den 1880er Jahren und unter mehreren Namensänderungen bis 1991. Bereits 1964 pachtete die Norfolk and Western Railroad die Wabash und übernahm die Betriebsführung. Mit deren Rechtsnachfolger, der Norfolk Southern Railway, fusionierte die Gesellschaft 1991 schließlich formal und hörte auch auf dem Papier auf zu existieren. Titelblatt des Fahrplans vom September 1887.Der Name Wabash Railway war von 1877 bis 1879, von 1887 bis 1889 und noch einmal von 1915 bis 1937 in Gebrauch. Von 1889 bis 1915 und nach 1937 hieß die Gesellschaft Wabash Railroad und von 1879 bis 1887 trug sie den Namen Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway. In den 1880er Jahren bestand das Firmenlogo aus einem Rechteck oder einer stilisierten Schriftrolle (siehe Bild rechts), in dem 'Wabash' oder 'The Wabash Railway' stand. 1890 entschied man sich, dieses Logo zugunsten einer Flagge mit dem Text 'The Wabash Route' aufzugeben. Der bisherige Leitspruch der Gesellschaft 'The Great Wabash Route' wich dem neuen Spruch 'The Banner Route' (Die Bannerlinie). Der Text auf der Flagge wurde wenige Jahre später zu 'Wabash' verkürzt. Bereits um die Jahrhundertwende war das bis zuletzt gültige Logo auf Fahrplänen, Fahrzeugen und in Werbeanzeigen zu finden. 1912 fügte man lediglich noch den Schriftzug 'Follow the Flag' (Folge der Fah 48 pp. Deutsch<

Auszug: The BNSF Railway (reporting mark BNSF), formerly known as the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway, is an American freight railroad company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas; it is one of four remaining transcontinental railroads and one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America. Only the Union Pacific Railroad, its primary competitor for Western U.S. freight, is larger in size. The BNSF Railway moves more intermodal freight traffic than any other rail system in the world. It was formed December 31, 1996, as the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was merged into the Burlington Northern Railroad. In 1999 BNSF and the Canadian National Railway announced their intention to merge and form a new corporation entitled the North American Railways to be headquartered in Montreal, Canada. The United States' Surface Transportation Board (STB) placed a 15-month moratorium on all rail mergers, which ended this merger. On January 24, 2005, the railroad's name was officially changed to BNSF Railway. The BNSF Railway is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation, the holding company formed by the September 22, 1995 merger of Burlington Northern, Incorporated and the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation. According to corporate press releases, the BNSF Railway is among the top transporters of intermodal freight in North America. It also hauls enough coal to generate roughly 10% of the electricity produced in the United States. The company's three transcontinental routes provide a high-speed link between the western and eastern United States. On November 3, 2009, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway announced that it would acquire the remaining 77.4% of BNSF that it didn't already own for $100 per share in cash and stock - a deal valued at $44 billion. The company is investing an estimated $34 billion in BNSF.
