BNSF is being sold.

Vehicles and other liabilities are being “scrapped” around the system this week and next. Polishing the books before 6/30, end of 2nd fiscal quarter and in preparation for the sale.

Loose lips sink ships.

BNSF Railway, one of North America's largest freight railroads, is reportedly being sold to a consortium of international investors for an eye-popping $90 billion. Whispers in the industry suggest the deal, allegedly brokered in secret over the past six months, could be announced as early as next week. People in the know claim the buyers, led by a Dubai-based logistics firm with ties to Asian tech giants, plan to integrate BNSF’s vast network with cutting-edge AI-driven freight systems, potentially reshaping the U.S. rail industry. Neither BNSF nor its parent company, Berkshire Hathaway, has commented, fueling speculation about Warren Buffett’s next move.

@am Out of someone's a$$.....

@1me buffet stepped down, its being ran by Greg Abel now.

This is BS. Buffets last earnings meeting he stated the rr was their nost valuable asset but needs to do better. Meaning more cuts. Everything that's being done in maintenance is directly stated in PEB 219. The rr has had the ability to contract out most maintenance since then. For some reason they chose not to. In my terminal ttx basically took over the shop and repairs intermodal and auto racks. They're now using all the things given to them in 219.

Not much for rumors, but within the last two weeks business seemed to have picked up, trains were running back to back, and on TY&E side crews were getting out immediately on their rest, but in the last two days trains and freight have come to a screeching halt. Seems weird like there’s something about to happen this upcoming week that is in the works, I guess we all shall see.

Lots of people on the tech side of the house have suspected this for a while now. The moves they’re making match what investors do when planning to sell. Hearing this from another section of the railroad isn’t surprising at all if they see writing on the wall too. I think at this stage I’ll be more surprised if they don’t sell in the next year or two.

Sounds like someone is bored in their mommies basement spending their Bnsf money on ChatGPT pro and MT dew. When your done yanking it to ren and stimpy tell your mom she still owes me for the menopause medicine! Next time you get bored why don’t you soak yourself in gasoline and run into one of the burning cars in Los Angeles, you know make a “real difference “

Get the popcorn.

Good Job Farmer….at least your business legacy will live on….

Worst of the first woman CEO’s is a testimony to your business plan.

@OP No way Berkshire Hathaway would sell BNSF. The business fits into their investment model too well. BNSF has a huge moat and very little competition. How many other class I railroads have come along in the last 25 years?

@am their a-s

Huge if true
